Cash or Check

Drop it in the collection basket during Mass or mail your gift.

IRA/QCD

Designate funds from your IRA.

If you are age 70½ or older, you may be eligible to make a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) directly from your Individual Retirement Account (IRA) to support our parish. A QCD may provide tax advantages and, if eligible, can count toward your annual Required Minimum Distribution (RMD).

How to Make Your Gift

Contact your IRA custodian or financial adviser and request a charitable distribution directly to our parish.
Make the distribution payable to:

St. Peter St. Joan of Arc Parish
10700 Liberty Road South
Powell, Ohio 43065

Identify your gift. Ask your IRA custodian to include your name and indicate whether your gift is for regular parish offertory or a specific ministry or campaign.
Notify our Finance Office. Let us know that your gift is being sent so we can properly identify, record, and acknowledge your contribution.

To qualify as a QCD, funds must be transferred directly from your IRA custodian to the eligible charitable organization. Please consult your financial or tax adviser to determine whether this giving option is appropriate for you.

Stock or Securities

Give appreciated assets.

Donating appreciated stocks or securities is a tax-efficient way to support our parish mission. By transferring appreciated securities directly to the Church, you may be able to avoid capital gains taxes while making a meaningful charitable gift.

How to Make Your Gift

Initiate your stock gift. Visit the Diocese of Columbus Stock Donation webpage for instructions, or contact the Diocesan Finance Office at (614) 224-1221 or Ann Sicker for assistance.
Designate your gift. Indicate that your donation is intended for St. Peter St. Joan of Arc Parish and specify whether it should support regular parish offertory or a particular ministry or campaign.
Notify our Finance Office. Please let us know when you initiate your transfer, including your name, the securities being transferred, and your intended designation. This helps us properly identify, record, and acknowledge your gift.

Please consult your financial or tax adviser regarding the potential tax benefits of donating appreciated securities.

Donor Advised Fund

Recommend a grant from your DAF.

A donor-advised fund (DAF) is a charitable giving account that allows you to support the causes and organizations important to you while potentially receiving tax benefits. If you have an established DAF, you can recommend a grant to support our parish mission.

How to Make Your Gift

Contact your DAF provider. Request a charitable grant to St. Peter St. Joan of Arc Parish through your financial institution or sponsoring foundation.
Designate your gift. Indicate whether your grant should support regular parish offertory or a specific ministry or campaign.
Notify our Finance Office. Please let us know when you recommend a grant, including your name and intended designation, so we can properly identify and acknowledge your gift.

To learn more about donor-advised funds and their potential benefits, contact Scott Hartman at The Catholic Foundation at (614) 443-8893.

Please consult your financial or tax adviser to determine whether a donor-advised fund is appropriate for your charitable giving goals.

FAQs & Contact

Have questions about giving? We're here to help.

How do I set up or change a recurring online gift?

How can I view my giving history and scheduled gifts online?

How do I receive a receipt or annual giving statement?

Online gifts made through Pushpay receive an automatic email receipt. For gifts made by check, cash, stock, IRA/QCD, or donor-advised fund, please contact the Finance Office if you need a receipt or acknowledgment.

Annual giving statements are provided in January for the previous calendar year's contributions. If you need an additional copy or have questions about your giving records, please contact our Finance Office.

Can I designated my gift for a specific ministry or campaign?

Yes! When giving online, you can select from the available funds or campaigns to direct your gift. For gifts made by check, please indicate the intended ministry or campaign in the memo line or include a note with your gift.

We encourage parishioners to make regular parish offertory giving a priority, as these gifts sustain our daily mission, ministries, outreach, and operations. Additional gifts to specific ministries or campaigns are always welcome and appreciated. If you have a specific giving intention that is not listed, please contact the Stewardship Office for assistance.

What is the difference between regular parish offertory and other giving opportunities?

Regular parish offertory provides ongoing support for our parish's mission, including Mass and the sacraments, faith formation, ministries, outreach, staffing, and the care of our facilities.

Other giving opportunities allow you to support specific needs or initiatives, such as St. Teresa's Outreach, the Building Our Future Capital Campaign, Catholic education, or other designated funds.

Both are meaningful ways to share your financial blessings and support the mission of the Church.
