Additional Giving Options

There are several options for giving. Consult your tax or financial professional for guidance on any of these options.

If you are 70 ½ or older, you can make a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) from your retirement account and typically avoid paying taxes on the donation.

If you have a Donor Advised Fund (DAF), you can recommend a grant to Hawley Lutheran Church, directly from your account. This allows you to receive an immediate tax deduction when contributing to your DAF, and the sponsoring organization will send the donation to the church on your behalf. Simply log in to your DAF account, select Hawley Lutheran as the recipient, and specify the amount and designation.
