You may have a few questions about giving your money to the Vineyard. We’ve tried to answer some of these questions below:
Where do my donations to Vineyard Christian Church go?
Your online donations go to our General Operating Fund: Donations to Vineyard Christian Church support its General Operating Fund. This fund makes possible the day-to-day ministries and services of the church.
Will I receive a Statement of Contribution?
Yes, you will receive a semi-annual statement of contribution for all donations for which you provided your name and address (cash contributions may be placed in an envelope with your name and address). All donations made to VCC are held in the strictest confidence.
- Statements of contributions are mailed in January (for the prior calendar year). An interim statement is mailed in July in order to provide updates to individual donors.
- If you have moved recently, please send your change of address information to debbie.stacey@vineyardchristian.org, so we may send your statement of contribution to the correct address.
How does Vineyard Christian Church uphold financial accountability?
VCC is committed to honoring God’s provision by exercising wise and faithful stewardship, ethical business practices, and full accountability to ensure the financial integrity of VCC remains above reproach. We accomplish this through a system of internal controls and an internal budgeting and reporting process.
- An annual audit is performed by an independent certified public accounting firm.
- The Church Board Treasurer reviews quarterly statements
- Anyone may request a copy of VCC’s most recently audited financial statements. Call (859) 689.0777 x109 to ask general questions about our financial practices.
Can I make non-cash contributions?
Many people find creative ways to make contributions to VCC’s ministries through non-cash gifts. Here are a few options to consider:
- Stocks and mutual funds: You will receive a tax deduction for the fair market value of your securities at the time of donation, and you will pay no capital gains tax on the difference between your cost and the fair market value. Request the form by emailing debbie.stacey@vineyardchristian.org or call 859.689.0777 x109. Send a copy to your broker to authorize the transfer, and send a copy to VCC letting us know how you want the funds applied.
- Other: Other giving options include life insurance, retirement assets, bequests, and charitable gift fund donations.
