Giving at Woodlawn Community Fellowship
We are grateful for the ways in which your giving supports the ministry of our church and enables us to be the presence of God’s love in our community and world. Your tithes and offerings help us to live out the ministry begun by Jesus to offer healing, companionship, and hope to the world.
How do I know God’s Spirit is alive in me? What sense do I have of having stable roots in my faith? Generosity. Paul names Generosity as one of the fruits of the Spirit (Galatians 5:24), and when I am generous, I put down deep roots into God’s world to sustain me and those in need in God’s world.

A gift of appreciated stock supports WCF, qualifies for a deduction for the full value of the stock, and bypasses any capital gains tax on the appreciation. Publicly traded stocks are the most commonly donated appreciated securities, but you can also give bonds, mutual fund shares, or closely held stock.
Please contact the church office for additional information on how to make a gift of appreciated stock.
If you have a donor advised fund (DAF), you can recommend a grant to WCF via your sponsoring organization. Please ask your sponsoring organization to mail the gift to:

A qualified charitable distribution (QCD) allows individuals who are 70½ years old or older to donate up to $105,000 total to one or more charities directly from a taxable IRA instead of taking their required minimum distributions. Also called IRA charitable distributions or IRA charitable rollovers, QCDs are made directly to the eligible charity from a traditional IRA, inherited IRA, inactive Simplified Employee Pension (SEP) plan and inactive Savings Incentive Match Plan for Employees (SIMPLE) IRAs. The money is directly transfer to the charity that never passes through the hands of the IRA holder. Contact your IRA custodian to intitate a QCD gift.
