How To Give

When spirituality is connected with generosity the end results are beautiful. Entire communities are blessed, the local church is well equipped, and the Christian giver glorifies God who delights in our willingness to give toward the needs of others and to depend deeply upon Him. (2 Corinthians 9:7; Malachi 3:10)

PLANNED GIVING | Planned giving can be a way to reduce or avoid estate and inheritance taxes and help to insure long-term charitable giving to St. Marcus. There are many vehicles through which a planned gift can be made. Bequests, life insurance policies, individual retirement accounts (IRA’s), and charitable trusts are all popular methods. Donors are encouraged to consult their financial or legal advisors when considering these types of gifts. 

MATCHING GIFTS | Many employers sponsor matching gift programs and will match any charitable contributions or volunteer hours made by their employees.

If your company has a matching gift program, request a matching gift form from your employer, and send it completed and signed with your gift. We will do the rest. The impact of your gift to St. Marcus may be doubled or possibly tripled! Some companies match gifts made by retirees and /or spouses too.
