What giving opportunities
are you called to consider and explore?

Cheerfully giving can be one way
you are called to support St. Michael Parish...
YOUR parish!

Your Offering helps take care of ministry here at our parish, the day-to-day operations, so we can be present to those we meet.  Your directed ministry-specific giving reaches the broader community, through our parish operations as home base.

Our Parish MIssion calls us to be the presence of Christ to all we meet. Your giving makes this possible.

Thank you for your partnership in mission!

GivingTuesday - November 28

MIssion Forward
You speak, and St. Michael Parish listens! The October Fall Mission was a tremendous success, and you have shown us that you want more – speakers, events, and opportunities to engage and learn more about our beautiful Catholic faith. This year, we are working toward funding parish missions during iGiveCatholic on Giving Tuesday. Unite, give back, and Give Catholic, and watch the ordinary become extraordinary. Mission it forward!

IRA
Use your IRA to donate.  Consider a Qualified Charitable Donation (QCD) to fulfill your Required Minimum Distribution (RMD).  You potentially could minimize any increased tax liability if you took the distribution as income, reduce the balance in an IRA to lower future RMDs, and give a larger gift, because AGI limits are not in effect for a QCD.

Appreciated Securities
When donating securities to a charity, you usually can take a tax deduction at the fair market, up to the amount allowed by the IRS. In addition, you would not have to pay the capital gains taxes you would, if you sold the stock and then donated it. St. Michael works with Davenport & Company to make this happen.

Donor-Advised Funds
Designate St. Michael Parish as one of your charitable beneficiaries.

Bunching
Explore what your donating impact would be to bunch your 2023 and 2024 donations together this year. You just might exceed your 2023 standard deduction and then be able to itemize! You could return to the standard deduction in 2024. This may open potential to lead to larger total deductions over two years than taking two years of straight standard deductions.
Bunching

Legacy Giving
Give a gift that keeps on giving, by considering a Legacy Gift. Call Marguerite Steiber, Director of Development, and discuss the possibilities. Make sure your tax or legal adviser is included.

Other Options
Consider these additional giving possibilities: life insurance, real and tangible personal property, or a bequest.
