Giving in December

Thanks for your faithful giving to South Ridge. Your giving is not only an act of worship, but it also enables us to serve the needs of our congregation and support local and global ministry efforts outside of our doors. And during the month of December, there will two opportunities for you to give.

First, your continued regular giving to our General Fund will enable South Ridge to meet all of our ministry expenses for 2025 and fulfill our mission for people to Experience Belonging, Embrace God’s Grace, and Extend God’s Love. 

 Second, we’re also asking for continued generous financial contributions toward the Built Together 2025 Capstone Project. While the downstairs renovation and HVAC replacement improvements to our main building were successfully completed thanks to your generous giving, we still have a way to go to meet our $2.8 million goal.

Additional Giving Options

Invest eternally & minimize tax liability

Giving by transferring stocks may reduce your capital gains tax liability for appreciated stock. To make a stock contribution by electronic transfer, please provide your broker with our account name (South Ridge Community Church); our Vanguard Brokerage Services account number (61388644); and the DTC number (0062). If you or your broker needs any further info, please have them contact Elena Davis (edavis@southridgecc.org / 908.735.5252 x 312).

Fulfill RMD & Minimize Tax Liability

If you have passed your 70th birthday and are withdrawing a Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) from your IRA, you can directly allocate a portion of this amount from your IRA to South Ridge. When you donate to South Ridge in this way, it is not counted as income by the IRS and therefore not taxed, but it will count toward meeting your annual RMD.

Pursue Ongoing & Eternal Impact

Legacy Giving is not merely for the “super wealthy.” A Legacy Gift of any size enables God’s provision and blessing to you over a lifetime to continue to have an impact that aligns with your beliefs and values. An Estate Plan that integrates the distribution of your assets with your family, charitable and other financial goals, will enable you to have continued impact through people you love and organizations you value.

A planned gift of cash, stocks, a house or other possessions made through your will is the most common way to provide a Legacy Gift for South Ridge. Other options include naming South Ridge as a beneficiary for your IRA, life insurance policy, or other financial accounts. We would be glad to discuss your specific options and goals for Legacy Giving with you and your financial advisor.
