YOUR CHARITABLE CONTRIBUTIONS:
The dynamics of the internet has created some interesting discussions regarding "Electronic Giving". Our challenge has been to provide a resource honoring "Biblical Principles" while respecting the diversity within any Church family.
You can donate tax-deductible contributions to the following funds:
- General
- Missions
- Youth
- Children’s Education
- Seniors
- Benevolence
- Other
Is your donation tax-deductible?
If I designate my contribution to the church benevolence fund. Is it deductible?
That depends. “Designated contributions” are those made to a church for a specific purpose. If the purpose is an approved project or program of the church, you can deduct the contribution (if you claim itemized deductions on Schedule A.)
Example 1: You donate $200 to the church and instruct the church treasurer to give the $200 to a specified need family in the church. This contribution is not tax-deductible.
A contribution to a church or missions agency that designate a particular missionary may be tax-deductible if the church or mission’s agency exercised full control over the contributions and ensures that they are spent in furtherance of the church’s tax-exempt purposes.
Example 1: You donate $75 to a denominational mission’s agency and specify a particular missionary as a recipient. This contribution is tax-deductible, even though it names a missionary, so long as the mission’s agency has full administrative and accounting control over the funds.
Please include which fund, if any, you'd like your donation to be applied to in the "Message" field.
(If you have much consumer debt, we recommend that you do not use a charge card or see a pastor for counsel.)
Gifts under $5 will not be given a receipt. Please keep us informed of your current address for tax purposes. Contributions are solicited with the understanding that the organization has complete discretion and control over the use of all donated funds.
