CAMPAIGN FUNDS

I only support parts of the proposed project. Can I have my contributions fund only those parts?
Gifts can be designated as follows:
1. The campaign offers multiple special “commemorative opportunities.” These opportunities allow donors making a qualifying gift amount the unique chance to designate their gifts to a particular part of the project and dedicate it in honor or memory of those they choose.
2. Both the new school and each parish’s promised commitment to the Upon This Rock Campaign are “projects” being funded by pledges to our One Faith – One Family – One Future Capital Campaign. When completing your pledge, you may designate any portion of your pledge toward one or the other if that is your desire.

How did the leadership come up with my gift request amount?

Gift requests are based on family giving history, gifts to prior campaigns and input that was received during the campaign planning study. Great care has been taken by the parish leadership in establishing our request amounts. These requests are not an expectation, but rather an invitation to consider a sacrificial investment toward the parish. We are grateful for all gifts, regardless of size. We only ask that you give in a way that reflects the gifts you have received.

When will I be asked to give to the campaign?

Before asking for support we must first ensure we are prepared. We are in the process of finalizing our case statement and campaign goals, training volunteers and gathering leadership gifts. We will begin the official process in September. In the meantime, we will share progress, plans and answers to other frequently asked questions on the campaign website.

How are parishioners being contacted throughout the campaign?

We are committed to make all information concerning the campaign and its progress readily available to all of the faithful. Communications are being sent through a wide variety of mediums including direct mailings, emails, announcements at Mass, various social media platforms, bulletin announcements, volunteer visits, the parish and school websites and the campaign website.

Can I give appreciated stock or securities to support the capital campaign?

Yes. A gift of securities (stocks, bonds, mutual funds, etc.), not only provides an immediate financial gift but can also offer the donor a tax advantages and an immediate charitable deduction. For more information, please consult your financial and/or tax advisor for the appropriate steps.
