Giving FAQ

What is the deadline for annual Contributions?
All contributions must be received or postmarked by December 31st to be included on your giving statement for that year. Online gifts must be initiated and processed by December 31st .
Will my credit card information be saved?

Your payment information will only be stored in our system if you choose to save it. You may do so by scheduling a recurring gift or linking a credit card to your account.

Will I receive a Donation Receipt?

Yes, we provide donation receipts once per year if you have given during the period of the statement. Our accounting team will send out all charitable donation receipts sometime between February-March of each calendar year. Please check your inbox and junk mail (unless you have specifically requested for a hard copy to be mailed).

Is a mailing address necessary for receipts?

Your full mailing address is required for official donation receipts. Please log into your giving account or contact [email protected] if you have recently moved or would like to provide a new mailing address.

How do funds get designated?

Each gift designated toward a church program will be used as designated. When any gift need has been met, or where projects cannot be reasonably carried out, the donor agrees that designated gifts may be used where needed most.

Can I make one account for my spouse and me?
In our giving platform, all giving is attributed to the individual. You will each receive a giving statement at the end of the year for tax purposes.
