All 2021 pledges or other cash donations must be received by the church no later than midnight on Friday, December 31 (or postmarked by that date) in order to be included in 2021 Giving Statements for tax purposes. The church office will be closed on Thursday, December 30, and Friday, December 31, but you may drop your donations in the mailbox at the office entrance at the foot of the steps. Pull down the tray and then make sure it dropped into the locked portion of the box.

If you are 70 1/2 years of age or older, you can instruct your IRA provider to make a Qualified Charitable Distribution to First Presbyterian directly from your IRA. Any donations paid this way are not reported as taxable income to you. You can make your entire annual pledge or other cash donations with one payment, help to satisfy your Required Minimum Distribution from your IRA, and incur no tax on the withdrawal. Qualified Charitable Distributions must be processed directly from your IRA provider.
