Simply Giving®
Automatic Offering Deduction Program
Simply Giving is a program
designed to help you conveniently contribute to a Lutheran
congregation or institution or to pay tuition
at a Lutheran school. Through Simply Giving, your
gifts or tuition payments are made through a
pre-authorized withdrawal from your bank account
or
credit card. You determine
the frequency of your automatic gift—weekly, semi-monthly or
monthly. Your gift or payment is deposited
into the organization's bank account on the same
day it is withdrawn from your account, at no
cost to you or the recipient.
Benefits for You...
Simply Giving
is a reliable, safe way to move your giving plan into action. It allows you
to share
your gifts
through planned giving and activates your generosity into ongoing
stewardship.
Because your
gift is given consistently, you won't need to play "catch-up" at year-end or
worry
about
forgotten checkbooks or missed Sunday offerings.
Benefits for Your Congregation...
You're not the only one that benefits. Your
congregation benefits from steady, more predictable revenues throughout the
year, more efficient
bookkeeping
and greater confidence in meeting its financial commitments.
Benefits for Your School...
This program is also a convenient way to pay
tuition at a Lutheran school. Simply Giving provides an easy, no-cost way
for the school to collect
tuition, and
allows the school to benefit from consistent cash flow.
Benefits to Other Lutheran Institutions...
You can also make contributions to other
Lutheran institutions through the Simply Giving program. Because of your
planned giving and ongoing
stewardship,
the institution you support benefits from steady, more predictable revenues
throughout the year. This helps the institution to better
meet its
financial goals and development objectives.
