Yes, you may use a credit or debit card. We accept American Express, Visa, MasterCard, and Discover. Donations may also be made directly from your checking or savings account.
Do I have to pay any fees to use this program?
No, there is no charge to the parishioner. The church does incur fees from credit card payments, but the fees are minimal.
How does the IRS recognize year-end donations made online?
‘Contributions are deductible in the year made. Thus, donations charged to a credit card before the end of 2021 count for 2021. This is true even if the credit card bill isn’t paid until 2022. Also, checks count for 2021 as long as they are mailed in 2021 and clear, shortly thereafter.’ (Taken from IRS website)
If I participate in online giving, will I still receive a statement of my contributions at the end of the year?
Yes, all donations are recorded and statements will be sent after the end of the year. In addition, you can view your donation history by logging in and clicking on the ‘Summary’ tab. You must set up a ‘Profile’ in order to access your information.
