Designated Donor Gifts

St. Paul's Episcopal Church Designated Donor

Designated donor gifts are items that are intended to be with the church across generations. Our stunning brass processional cross was our first designated donor gift in 2018. Our sister churches and the Tampa Deanery have generously gifted us our altar, reredos, the four new prie-dieux (prayer desks in the chancel), the new brass paschal candle stick and the basic “starter” altar and lectern hangings. Following is a registry of gifts for our new church in preparation for our first St. Paul’s Sunday (patronal feast day) on January 24, 2021 (the official re-launch to our Wesley Chapel Community). Most gifts in the registry have been placed in order of priority.

Special Contributions

Special Contributions are contributions to one-time expenses which also have a long-term impact on the growth and life of the congregation.

Designated donor gifts may be made at any time, and may be given by multiple donors.

End-of-Year Giving Tax Deduction Considerations

According to IRS tax rules for charitable deductions, donors must deliver checks on or by December 31 to qualify for a charitable contribution deduction for that year. Checks that are written, mailed and postmarked within the same year will be deductible for that year even if the church does not receive it until the following year.
