At All Saints, we believe that God has entrusted us to be stewards of our resources, and of all creation. God calls us to give to the teaching of God's word as well as the service of others. Giving at All Saints can take many forms. You can even help by using Amazon Smile, Hy-Vee, and TAGG! See below for information on our annual Stewardship campaign and on planned giving. We have two easy ways to give online. The best way for us is via PayPal's non-profit portal HERE . You can use it to give once or do a recurring donation, directly from your PayPal account or using a credit card. We are also set up with EasyTithe Online Giving.

Each year, All Saints builds its budget around annual pledges. The annual Stewardship Campaign takes place in the Fall, and all are encouraged to give joyfully out of their first fruits. If you join us mid-year and wish to make or transfer a pledge, please contact our Financial Administrator, Kathy Kresin. Special gifts are also solicited at Easter and Christmas each year.
It is the principal goal of Planned Giving to offer helpful discussions of charitable gifting ideas and strategies to assist parishioners as they explore ways to share some of their God-given treasure. The Planned Giving Committee will periodically publish in the Witness an informative article on a charitable gifting strategy or technique. You are strongly encouraged to contact any member of the Planned Giving Committee, the Stewardship Ministry Team or Rev. Marisa Thompson if you would like more information about achieving your Planned Giving goals for All Saints. Many of our parishioners have remembered All Saints in their Last Will and Testament, by substantial lifetime gifts, and with their time and talents. In past years, residents of the Village have assisted All Saints by purchasing a residence in the Village and donating the remainder interest in their residence to the Parish. This arrangement allows the donor to continue to enjoy the life use and occupancy of their residence while receiving an immediate income tax deduction for the remainder value of the residence. Even if you do not own a Village residence, you can employ the same technique with your own home or farm. Just as a Village owner may contribute the remainder interest in his or her residence in a tax advantaged way, you, too, can contribute a remainder interest in your home or farm, and enjoy immediate income tax benefits while leaving a substantial legacy for All Saints' programs.
