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  day it is withdrawn from your account, at no cost to you or the recipient.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.
