year end

thank you for your year-end giving!

Trinity Lutheran Church documents year-end gifts in accordance with IRS regulations. NOTE: this year December 31 is on a Sunday. This means that any contributions you’d like to deduct for tax purposes in 2023 must be received by worship that day. Offerings sent via mail must be postmarked by 12/30/23. 

 

If you are making a stock transfer or a qualified charitable gift from a required minimum distribution, please contact Rindee Erdmann (952-473-8577 x136) to let her know, as your name will not appear on the security when it is transferred.
