Authorization Form

Dear Brothers and Sisters,
When was the last time you felt true gratitude for all you have?  As a people, we often find ourselces wanting many things.  But what do we really need?  In Christ, God gives us everything we need, in abundance.
I invite you to respond to our parish's new stewardship program: The Abundance Project.  For when you have God, all is fully sufficient. 
Would you prayerfully consider how you can play an active role in continuuing the work of Jesus Christ?  With your support, you can help to bring the witness of Christ's love to as many people as possible through liturgy, ministry, and outreach.  In today's climate, I can't think of a better use of financial resources.
By participating in the project, we respond to God's greatest gift loving one another with the heart of His Son.

Thank you for your generosity, prayers, and commitment to St. Theresa.
In Christ,
Father Larry Covington

Employer Gift Matching: You may be able to double the impact of your gift if your employer has a matching program that includes churches. St. Theresa has a silver-level designation by Guidestar, the world’s largest source of information about nonprofit organizations, denoting that we are “demonstrating a commitment to transparency.” Telling your employer about this designation or volunteering at St. Theresa could make a difference. Check with your HR department to see if your gift can be matched.

Make a Tax-Free Gift with an IRA: There are different options depending on your age. For example, when you turn 72, the transferred funds may begin counting toward your required minimum distribution (RMD), and you pay no income taxes on the gift. This could also lower your taxable annual income level, resulting in lower Medicare premiums and the amount of Social Security subject to taxes.

Donor-Advised Funds: A DAF is a dedicated charitable investment account that donors use to manage their charitable giving. It can help donors maximize their tax benefits, contribute to various assets, and plan their generous support, growing impact to new levels. Investment firms such as Fidelity Charitable and Charles Schwab Charitable offer DAF accounts through which philanthropic donations to St. Theresa Catholic Church may be directed, often directly through electronic funds transfer. Your investment firm can assist you with setting up a DAF.

Legacy and Planned Gifts: The St. Theresa Legacy Society is for members of the parish who indicate they have left St. Theresa in their will or estate plan. Benefits of this membership include an annual dinner with the Pastor and personal communications, including recognition in parish publications. Leave a legacy that impacts generations by making a meaningful gift to the church!  Memorial Giving- remember a loved one with a memorial gift and Deferred Gift or Assets are part of this program.
