Year-End Gifts
Our online giving page makes it easy to fulfill 2013 Annual Appeal pledges--and to make Light Up a Life gifts to thank friends and family. This can also be done through the Sunday offering or by mailing a check to the attention of Katy Frey Bever at Fourth Presbyterian Church, 126 E. Chestnut Street, Chicago, IL 60611.2014.
Please note that for those wanting to make gifts or year-end contributions by credit card, charges must be made to the card by 11:59 p.m. on Tuesday, December 31 in order for those gifts to be listed on 2013 giving statements.
For those wanting to make a year-end gift or pledge fulfillment by check and have the gift listed on 2013 giving statements, please be sure the envelope is postmarked December 31.
