Notes about giving
When giving, please include your name and your address and postal code if these are not already on file. The church will send you a tax receipt at the end of the year. (Tax receipts will yield a tax reduction up to 44% of the value of the donation.)
In addition to your personal information, indicate whether the donation is to go towards:
- General operating: This supports our staff and pays the bills for our mortgage, building, and programs.
- Share the Plate: STP gifts benefit both the church and frontline justice and environmental groups.
- Capital Fund: Capital funds help protect or enhance our building, grounds and equipment, e.g., parking lot, furnace, roof, elevator.
- Endowment Fund: Your gift grows Endowment Fund principal. Over time, Interest and dividends contribute to operations.
