How to Give
Whatever your gift or how it is given, please know that your support is urgently needed and will be greatly appreciated. Through the support of many in prayer, volunteering, and financial giving, along with some extraordinary gifts, our campaign will succeed. Then, our past accomplishments will only be a prologue to our more promising future.
Please join us in this exciting and essential effort to better ourselves and increase our ability to serve God and one another through the works of St. Gabriel Parish.
How to Give
To ensure that we reach our objectives and our potential, we ask you to consider special gifts over and above your regular contributions. Gifts can be given to the campaign in a variety of different ways:
Long-Term Pledges are payable over three years and may be paid in monthly, quarterly, semi-annual, or annual installments by cash, credit card, or direct deposit. A 10% or more initial investment is requested.
Non-Cash Gifts* include gifts in kind such as labor and materials; securities such as stocks, bonds or gifts through qualified charitable distributions such as IRA rollovers; grains and livestock; real estate such as marketable land, homes, vacation homes, and rental or commercial properties; or valuable personal property like precious metals, gems, jewelry, artwork, collectibles, and even newer and classic automobiles, watercraft, and motor homes.
Deferred Gifts* are gifts arranged to be received later such as new or fully paid up life insurance policies, certain trust arrangements, or gifts through a person’s will by bequest.
Matching Gifts may be possible. If you serve on a board, work for, or have retired from a company that matches charitable gifts, you may be able to double your campaign gift. Check with the company to see if they match gifts to causes like ours.
*All non-cash and deferred gifts must be approved by the church before acceptance.
