2025 Giving

All 2025 donations must be dated and hand delivered or postmarked on or before December 31, 2025 in order to claim a charitable contribution deduction for 2025. Checks that are placed in the church offering during the first worship service in 2026 will not qualify for a charitable contribution deduction in 2025, even if the check is predated or was actually written in 2025. However, checks that are written, mailed, and postmarked in 2025 will be deductible in 2025 though they may not be received by the church until 2026.
