Give

At Binkley your gifts are signs of abundance, in contrast to scarcity, in pursuit of our mission to “create joyful and compassionate community, explore spiritual paths, and pursue justice and peace in the way of Jesus.”

The British Christian mystic Evelyn Underhill observed that all Christian worship is summed up in one word: sacrifice. When Mary anoints Jesus’ feet with costly ointment (John 12) she demonstrates wholly and holy devotion to his life of compassionate love. Giving to any Church is an extravagant act of generosity and compassion.

Qualified Charitable Distributions (QCDs)

Learn More

When planning your IRA withdrawal strategy, you may want to consider making charitable donations through a QCD.

A QCD is a direct transfer of funds from your IRA custodian, payable to a qualified charity. QCDs can be counted toward satisfying your required minimum distributions (RMDs) for those 70 ½ years or older in the year, as long as certain rules are met.

In addition to the benefits of giving to charity, a QCD excludes the amount donated from taxable income, which is unlike regular withdrawals from an IRA. Keeping your taxable income lower may reduce the impact to certain tax credits and deductions, including Social Security and Medicare.

Also, QCDs don’t require that you itemize, which due to the recent tax law changes, means you may decide to take advantage of the higher standard deduction, but still use a QCD for charitable giving.

Contact our Business Manager or call (919-942-4964) for more information.

Pledging

Our yearly Program of Ministry budget is determined based on pledges made by our members and friends. Each year, we explore together what it means to be stewards of God through giving.

Time & Talent

While monetary gifts are necessary to keep the church’s doors open, we also need the individual and collective gifts of time and talent from our congregation to accomplish Binkley’s mission in the community.
