If you used EFT for the previous year, your current commitment will continue unless you submit a new form, or contact our financial secretary at finance@polkcityumc.org ​

OTHER WAYS TO GIVE

​APPRECIATED INVESTMENTS – Stocks, bonds, physical property, Qualified Charitable Distributions, and other securities are a welcome gift. Some members have found the tax savings make this an ideal way to fulfill their commitment, as contributions are equal to the fair market value, while tax liability on capital gains is avoided.

DIRECT IRA MINIMUM DISTRIBUTION – Donors who are 70 ½ or older can give their gifts directly from their individual retirement accounts tax-free. By avoiding federal and state taxes on the amount, donors can increase their support to Polk City UMC at no additional cost.
