St. John’s Legacy Fund
Bequests and other planned gifts without restrictions are directed to St. John’s Legacy Fund to help meet the present and emerging needs of our community of faith, and mission work that is carried out within the community, throughout Canada and around the world.
Unrestricted gifts will be disbursed in accordance with St. John’s Planned Gift Policy: ten percent will be used for immediate needs and the remaining ninety percent will be directed to the St. John’s Legacy investment account. Annual interest earned from this fund will be deposited to the church bank account to be disbursed as determined by St. John’s Church Council.
Donors who wish to make a restricted gift are encouraged to consult with the Minister, Church Council Chair, Treasurer or Stewardship Committee Chair in advance. Gifts that arrive with restrictions attached will be considered by the Stewardship Committee who will make a recommendation to the Church Council regarding acceptance.
All gifts to the Legacy Fund must support the Mission, Vision and Values of St. John’s United Church, Alliston, Ontario and will be in accordance with the guidelines of the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA).
To make a donation to the Legacy Fund, or to make a gift of stocks or securities, please contact the Treasurer.
“But who am I, and what is my people, that we should be able to make this freewill offering? For all things come from you, and of your own have we given you.” 1 Chronicles 29:14
