Download and fill out the SimplyGiving form and return it to the church office.
Online Bill Pay through your Bank
Most online banks offer a free service called “Online Bill Pay.” You can arrange for your bank to send a check to OSLC through the mail on a one-time or recurring basis. You should receive an email from us whenever we deposit a bank check. Setting up a recurring payment can be a helpful tool in the joy and discipline of consistent giving.
Give Stocks Directly
Donating appreciated stocks can be beneficial to both the stockholder and the gift recipient. Talk to your financial professional to see if this option is appropriate for you and then contact our financial secretary for the information needed to process this gift to OSLC.
Giving through Retirement Account RMD (Required Minimum Distribution)
If you are 70 ½, you are eligible to make a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) from your IRA, which can provide a tax benefit to you and, of course, also benefit God’s ministry at OSLC. Some simple rules:
1. You must be 70 ½.
2. It must be paid directly from a traditional IRA or Roth IRA.
3. It must be paid directly from IRA custodian to the charity.
4. It must be paid to a qualifying charity – OSLC qualifies.
If making a Qualified Charitable Distribution sounds like an interesting option to you, please talk to your tax advisor first, to see if a QCD is appropriate for your unique situation.
