Pledge: Make a pledge in response to an initiative at the parish.  Pledging allows you to make a greater gift over time, without overburdening your budget.  When you make a pledge, you will receive monthly reminder statements via email until your pledge is paid.  This monthly reminder statement includes an option to pay your pledge via credit card or electronic funds transfer (EFT).

2. One-Time Gift: Give a one-time contribution towards a parish initiative.  Please make check payable to St. John the Evangelist Catholic Church and put “restricted gift for (list desired initiative you wish to support).”  Please do not send cash through mail.

Stock Donation: Make a donation of publicly traded securities and receive the tax benefits for giving appreciated stock.  A stock donation form and instructions can be downloaded from our Diocesan website: charlottediocese.org/ways-to-give  (Please ensure to make know on Diocesan Form that the gift is restricted for St. John the Evangelist Catholic Church and indicated desired initiative you wish to support)

5. IRA Contribution: For donors over 70 & 1/2 years of age, contact your Financial Advisor to request a charitable distribution from your IRA.  Please give instructions to have the check made payable to St. John the Evangelist Catholic Church (with desired parish initiative you wish to support in memo section), and include your name and address in the accompanying letter, so you will receive credit for the donation.
