Giving is an integral part of our relationship with God.

It acknowledges God as the provider of everything we have. It encourages us to live by faith with all we have been given. When joined with the gifts of others, it equips the Church for mission.

Other Ways To Give

Stock Gifts

You will receive a tax deduction for the current value of the stock, even if you paid much less for it. You avoid paying capital gains tax on the appreciation in value (as long as you have held the stock for at least one year.)

IRA Charitable Rollover 

The "IRA charitable rollover" provision is still in force. If you are age 70.5 or older and have a traditional IRA, 401(k) or 403(b), you are eligible to make a contribution directly from your retirement account to the church and have it count as your Qualified Charitable Distribution. This will result in no income tax due to you as you won't be taking it as a distribution to you. So you avoid income taxes, make a gift to POP and have it count as your required minimum distribution. This is another great way to give and give smart. This is almost always the best way to give from the above mentioned funds. You can use your IRA donation for your regular offering, a special memorial gift, or for a gift to the Endowment Fund. Talk to your financial planner to determine if this is a good deal for you.

ENDOWMENT FUND

The Prince of Peace Endowment Fund was established to create perpetual funding for ministry projects beyond the normal scope of our budget. The fund grows from the generosity of individuals that include Prince of Peace in their estate planning. Use the button below to learn more about the fund or to share with us more information about your planned gift to Prince of Peace.

The Endowment Fund also provides funding to organizations each year based upon the earned income from the Fund. Please use the link below to apply for funding for your organization. The application period for 2023 is now closed.
