Easy and secure. Set up a one-time donation or a recurring. This is a great option if you do not attend OLMC for an extended period of time and still want to tithe!
Offertory Basket (Envelope) Offertory envelopes are mailed each month to those who do not choose to give online. Your gift can be placed in an offertory envelope that includes your personal name and address, and placed in a collection basket at any Mass. Envelopes can also be used to indicate your attendance at Mass for enrollment in the SMG School; use of our facilities for liturgical services, and certification as sponsors. Envelopes do not need to contain money.
Tax Deductible Gifts All gifts are tax-deductible as provided by law. Receipts will be provided upon request.
More Giving Options
Stocks & Bonds There are added advantages to giving stocks, bonds, and securities. You not only take credit for a charitable gift at its present value, but if held for more than a year, you are also exempt from paying tax on the profit realized from the original investment. Talk with your financial advisor for more information on making these types of charitable donations.
Donor Advised Funds A Donor Advised Fund allows you to make a charitable contribution, claim an immediate income tax deduction, and distribute the funds to IRS-qualified charities such as SMG over time. If this is of interest to you, consider speaking with a financial advisor.
IRA Gifts If you are over 70 ½ years old, you may also be eligible to make a charitable gift from your IRA assets of up to $100,000 per year with no tax complications. These types of gifts must be transferred directly and count toward your minimum required distribution. Again, it is always a good idea to speak with your financial advisor for more information.
Wills & Bequests Providing for SMG in your will can have significant federal and estate tax advantages. For additional information, please contact the Parish Office at 317.867.3213 and ask for Kevin Muller.
Matching Gift Many firms have matching gift programs to provide incentives for their employees to make charitable donations. Many companies will especially match gifts given to capital campaigns that include a school or educational component such as we have. Please ask your human resources or personnel department for a matching gift form. The employee must initiate the process. Both current and retired employees may be eligible.
