Text Giving

Text giving is a quick and easy way to give an offering for those of us who don’t carry cash or checkbooks – and you can include the kiddos, too! It’s also a great way for students to begin practicing personal stewardship.

How to Give by Text:

1. Simply send a text to 833-410-0081 with the amount you would like to give. Make sure to include the dollar sign before the amount. (Example: $25)
2. You’ll receive a text with a link to register. Click on the link and enter your cardholder name and credit or debit card information. Registration takes less than 5 minutes!
3. Once your registration is complete, you will receive a text verification and a receipt via email.
4. For future giving, simply send a text with the amount you wish to give, and it will process automatically!

You can use your PayPal account, or a credit/debit card, to make a secure donation to Prince of Peace. There are options to donate to the Mission & Ministry offering, the Capital Campaign, or the Prince of Peace Foundation. You may also choose to set up a monthly recurring donation.

Appreciated Securities

Gifts of appreciated securities (stocks, mutual funds, bonds) may also be donated to Prince of Peace, and may provide significant tax benefits to the donor. Talk with your tax advisor. Please note that gifts of appreciated securities, and particularly mutual funds, may need additional time to process and will need the attention of your financial advisor/broker well before December 22 to be sure the transfer is completed by the end of the tax year. Fax the stock donation form below to 952-898-9379, “Attention: Jane Victorey,” or contact Jane at 952‐898‐9313 or email.

IRA Charitable Contributions

Qualified Charitable Distributions (QCD) from an IRA are gifts given directly from an IRA account to Prince of Peace and are limited to those who are 70-½ years of age or older. Amounts distributed as a QCD have special advantages as they may be counted towards satisfying your Required Minimum Distribution and can also be excluded from your taxable income. Please consult with your tax advisor for more information.
