Year-End Giving
The holiday season and end of the year is a popular time for giving to charitable organizations, including Holy Spirit.
To process your donations, please note the following details to properly reflect donations on your 2021 giving record:
Mailed contributions must be postmarked no later than Dec. 31, 2021.
Online contributions made using your bank account must be completed by 3 p.m. on Wednesday, Dec. 29.
Gifts made via credit card must be completed by 3 p.m. on Friday, Dec. 31.
Many employers have matching programs where your gift can be amplified through a gift from your employer. Please consider reviewing whether this is an option.
Gifts of Appreciated Securities (Stocks)
As 2021 ends, the stock market continues to remain strong. As a result, there may be financial advantages of donating via means other than traditional cash donations. This is easy to do! Make sure to consult with your financial advisor before making any financial decisions.
Required Minimum Distribution Funds (RMDs/QCDs)
Individuals who are required to take distributions from their pre-tax retirement plans before the end of the year can donate some or all the required distribution to Holy Spirit.
The parish office will be open on Wednesday, Dec. 29 for your convenience. You may also put your donation in the drop box by the gym entrance until Friday, Dec. 31. If you need assistance with year-end giving, especially stock transfers and matching gifts, email Father Haugan.
We are thankful for the gifts we receive this time of year!
