In addition to giving by check or credit card (through Breeze), consider the following:
Corporate Matching Gifts
We are on GuideStar https://www.guidestar.org/profile/22-6052964
check with your employer or former employer (if you’re retired) to see whether they offer a matching gift program.
Give Appreciated Stocks
UCF(United Church Funds), our trusted investment partner of many years, is handling these transactions for us, which will streamline the process. A stock donation includes the sale of a security and notification to the beneficiary of the gift and donor contact information. By giving appreciated stocks you’ve held for more than a year to Brookside, you get the same tax benefits as paying cash and avoid potential capital gains taxes. To take advantage of this service, donors should contact Milly Hernandez, Client Services Team Leader, at 877-806-4989, or send an email to info@ucfunds.org
Give via Charitable IRA Rollover
The IRA charitable rollover allows individuals over 70 1/2 years of age to make certain charitable contributions directly from your Individual Retirement Account. The transferred assets will not be recognized as income for tax purposes. Making a donation under this provision is simple and straightforward. If you would like to make a contribution to Brookside from your IRA, please speak with your IRA administrator.
In our Hearts, In our Prayers:
The prayers shared aloud on Sunday morning*
Those who grieve, especially the family of Doug Steinberg Sr. (a memorial service is scheduled for August 27th at 11am)
The sick, the dying, the grieving
The lonely, the isolated, the anxious
The people of Sri Lanka, Ukraine, Russia, Afghanistan, and all who live in places of transition or war
Our leaders, our communities, our nation
*Prayers shared on Sunday morning are NOT published here, except by explicit request. If you would like a prayer included in @Brookside, please email office@brooksidechurch.org
