Every Member Commitment Campaign

Planning to set aside some of your income regularly is a spiritual discipline, like a prayer. It reminds us of the blessings God gives us each day, and continually returns to God a portion of those gifts. You pledge also enables the Vestry to plan for the coming year's ministries—enabling us to turn anticipated resources into tools for ministry.

An IRA Gift to St. John’s May Have a Tax Benefit

Parishioners who are 70.5 years of age or older may obtain a tax benefit making contributions to the Annual Every Member Commitment or to the Create the Future Fund if their contributions are directed from an IRA. Instead of taking a required minimum distribution (RMD), a payment to St. John’s may be made directly from the IRA, and for amounts up to $100,000, the distribution is tax-free but counts toward the RMD. (There is no tax deduction for the contribution, but the amount is excluded from federal taxable income.) This contribution can be made at any time of the year. To make such a gift, please instruct the custodian of the IRA to make a direct transfer to St. John’s Church. Consult your tax advisor for more information and advice about the benefits of this giving technique.

Giving Electronically

E-giving is now available for contributions to St. John's Church. Contributions can now be made either by electronic funds transfer or by credit card (Master Card, Visa, or Discover Card).

The Vestry is pleased to make E-giving possible. The convenience to the donor comes at a cost to the church. Credit card transaction fees are 2.5% of the amount of the contribution plus .25 per transaction. Electronic Funds Transfers are subject to a transaction fee ranging from .50 to .20 per contribution, depending upon the number of parishioners who use the E-giving service. Please consider these transaction fees when making your contribution. Stewardship envelopes will still be available.
