Gift Options

All members are asked to consider gifts toward this special campaign that are above and beyond what they give in their regular ongoing commitment to support the day to day operating budget of the parish. And there is a variety of ways that gifts can be made.

•    Long-term subscriptions, or pledges payable over 3 years, are easier for most and essential to meeting our goal, since it would be impractical, if not impossible, to reach our objectives with one-time, out-of-pocket gifts.  Gifts may be made in monthly, quarterly, semi-annual or annual installments at the donor’s discretion.  A 10% initial investment toward your total pledge is encouraged.

•    Non-cash gifts are an additional or alternative way you can support our cause.  You may wish, for example, to consider gifts “in kind” such as labor and materials; gifts of securities such as stocks and bonds; gifts of real estate such as land, homes, vacation and rental properties or even personal property such as artwork, automobiles, jewelry and antiques. Finally, matching gifts from employers are encouraged.

•    And finally, you can also choose to support our efforts through deferred gifts. These are gifts that can be given or arranged for now, but will not be received until later, and include gifts through a person’s will by bequest, gifts of life insurance policies or annuities, and trust arrangements.

Gift Opportunities

There are also a number of very special gift opportunities available to donors of qualifying gift amounts.  These opportunities allow people the unique chance to designate their gifts to a particular part of the project and dedicate them in honor or memory of those they choose for a minimum of ten years once payment for these areas or items is received in full.

Prices of the stated items are not necessarily reflective of the component’s cost.  Rather they are based on the prominence of the item, our needs, and hopefully, the gift abilities of our community. Although payments for these gifts may be made over the entire pledge period, recognition will be given when the gift is paid in full and will extend for a minimum of ten years.

Donors of specific items or areas will have their names and/or the names of those they are honoring with their gifts inscribed directly on the item given or on special plaques or nameplates placed on or near the item where appropriate.  These naming rights will extend for a minimum of ten years once payment for the item is fully received.  Additionally, all donors, regardless of the size of their gift, will have their names listed in a special bulletin insert announcing campaign results as well as on a special “Donor Wall” or “Donor Book” that will be displayed in a prominent and visible place within our facilities.
