St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church solicits and accepts gifts that are consistent with its mission to support its core programs, as well as special projects.
The Finance Committee at St. Andrews Episcopal Church has adopted the following guidelines for accepting gifts
- Donations and other forms of support will generally be accepted from individuals, partnerships, corporations, foundations, and government agencies, or other entities without limitations.
- St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church will refrain from providing advice about tax or other treatment of gifts, and encourages donors to seek guidance from their own professional advisors.
- St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church will accept donations of money, marketable securities (stock), real property, and personal property.
- All marketable securities (stock) will be sold promptly upon receipt unless otherwise directed by the St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church Vestry.
- Certain types of gifts must be reviewed prior to acceptance by the St. Andrews Vestry due to the special liabilities they may pose for St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church. Examples of gifts subject to review, but not limited to, include gifts of real property, gifts of personal property, and gifts of restricted securities.
If a question arises about acceptance of a gift, the primary consideration will be the impact of the gift on St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church. The final decision to accept a gift will be made by the St. Andrews Vestry.
