Please consider Gloria Dei Church for year-end charitable contributions


Those of you who are required to take minimum distributions from your IRA, did you know that you can ask your IRA custodian to send a donation directly to Gloria Dei Church and get the benefit of a charitable deduction without itemizing?


The custodian will mail the contribution to Gloria Dei, and it will count toward your Required Minimum Distribution (RMD), but is not counted as taxable income on your federal tax return.


Thank you so much for your generosity!
