Welcome to our Giving Page
Welcome to the Stokesdale United Methodist Church Giving Page. Giving is an expression of our faith in God and our desire to participate in what God is doing in the world through the ministry of this congregation. When you click “Make an Online Gift Now,” you will be directed to our secure Vanco giving page, where you can choose how your gift will make an impact. You may give to the following funds:

•  General Fund, which supports the overall mission and ministry of the church; 
•  BEYOND Fund, which advances our capital campaign and allows you to fulfill a commitment or offer an additional gift toward this transformative project; or
• the Other Fund option, where you can designate your gift to a specific ministry or cause such as Good Samaritan Ministries, the scholarship fund, or special events like the spaghetti dinner.

Thank you for your generosity and for joining in God’s work through Stokesdale UMC.
 
Here are some other ways you can give to the church besides cash:
GIVING APPRECIATED PROPERTY:  If you have an IRA or investments that have increased in value (stocks, bonds, real estate, or mutual funds), you can donate them to take a charitable income tax deduction and avoid declaring the capital gain of the assets as income. 
 
GIVING & RETAINING INCOME FOR LIFE: A charitable gift annuity or charitable remainder trust enables you to receive flexible or guaranteed income. Plus, there are significant tax advantages.  Ask your tax advisor about donating your IRA's Required Minimum Distribution to your church, tax-free.  Call A.J. at The United Methodist Foundation of Western NC for more information at 888-450-1956 ext. 1509.
 
GIVING UNNEEDED LIFE INSURANCE: Consider giving an unneeded policy to the church or a charity and receive a charitable income tax deduction for the lesser of your cost basis or the replacement value.  
 
MEMORIAL GIFTS: As you think of those special persons who have touched your life, you may want to do something “just right” to demonstrate that they are remembered. A memorial tribute can be a satisfying way to salute those whose memories continue to enrich our lives.
 
WISE TAX PLANNING: Making extra gifts or accelerating future gifts in the tax year can enable an itemized income tax deduction. An extra year-end gift may add just enough to allow you to take advantage of your full itemized deduction. Many tax-wise donors accelerate contributions for the coming year to enable itemization at least every other year.
