Thank you for considering a financial gift to Peninsula United Church. There are many ways you can make an offering or financial contribution to support our ongoing life, mission, and ministry.
We appreciate your gift, whatever you’re able to give. They all add up. Thank you!
The most effective way to give is through PAR (pre-authorized remittance). PAR is an automatic debit from your bank or credit union where 100% of your donation goes to Peninsula United. To sign up or for more info, please return this form to the Church Office to the attention of Val Austring. It is the best way to give to Peninsula United, because…
Powered by CanadaHelps, you can contribute via Credit Card or PayPal. This is a convenient option for our non-Canadian congregants and friends to support our ministry as well!
PLEASE NOTE: If you make a contribution via CanadaHelps.org, your charitable receipt will come directly from Canada Helps for the full amount of your donation. It is important to save, print, or download it so you have it for tax time, as Peninsula United Church cannot issue another receipt for this type of donation. (Tax receipts for the other types of donations -- cash, cheque, PAR, and eTransfer -- will come from Peninsula United Church.)
CanadaHelps is a non-profit organization. 1.8% of your donation ensures CanadaHelps can continue to provide charities with affordable access to online fundraising and educational tools. Like all online transactions, online charitable gifts are subject to 3.5% transaction processing fees from credit card companies.
You can place your cheque or cash in the offering box on Sunday morning worship services or drop it off at the church office during the week. Contact the church office for more information.
Send funds directly from your bank or credit union account using Interac eTransfer to "transfers@peninsulaunited.com". To set up Peninsula United as a new e-transfer recipient in online banking, please use:
Recipient name: Peninsula United Church
Recipient email: transfers@peninsulaunited.com
Gifts of publicly traded securities are an attractive option for donors. When you transfer to the United Church gifts of shares, bonds, bills, warrants, futures, or units of mutual funds listed on a prescribed public stock exchange, you will not pay tax on any capital gain.
Consider incorporating PUC into your long-term financial planning by including us in your will or end-of-life arrangements. This kind of gift is a commitment to the ministry of your church that reaches beyond your own life and into the future. There may be significant tax benefits to your estate through bequests, such as lowering tax liabilities and leaving more of your estate intact for your heirs.
For more information and to be put in touch with our Planning Giving expert in BC, contact our Financial Administrator, Sheri Kathrein for more information.
