To make your offering via check or parish envelope, please drop off your payment in the weekly offertory baskets, or mail your gift to the parish office. If you do not currently receive weekly envelopes and would like to do so, please contact the parish office.
Planned Giving is a wonderful way to share the blessings of a lifetime. It is the opportunity to leave a planned gift that constitutes both a legacy to generations yet unborn and a final witness to those you hold most dear. Please contact our Director of Finance at 703-814-7996 or email him at fdebrey@sttimothyparish.org if you would like to include our parish in your estate plans, or if you have already done so.
Smart Giving From Your IRA
A Tax-Saving Way to Help your parish.
A Special Opportunity for Those 70½ Years Old and Older
You can give any amount (up to a maximum of $105,000) this year from your IRA directly to a qualified charity such as St. Timothy without having to pay income taxes on the money. Gifts of any value $105,000 or less are eligible for this benefit and you can feel good knowing that you are making a difference at St. Timothy. This popular gift option is commonly called the IRA charitable rollover, but you may also see it referred to as a qualified charitable distribution, or QCD for short.
To use your IRA to support your parish, please advise your IRA administrator to make the check payable to St. Timothy Catholic Church. Request that your name be listed at the bottom of the check or on the check stub so your gift can be accurately posted and mail the check directly to:
St. Timothy Catholic Church
13807 Poplar Tree Rd
Chantilly, VA 20151
Why Consider This Gift?
Your gift will be put to use today, allowing you to see the difference your donation is making.
If you are required to take minimum distributions, you can use your gift to satisfy all or part of your obligation.
You pay no income taxes on the gift. The transfer generates neither taxable income nor a tax deduction, so you benefit even if you do not itemize your deductions.
Since the gift doesn’t count as income, it can reduce your annual income level. This may help lower your Medicare premiums and decrease the amount of Social Security that is subject to tax.
For Those 59½ Years Old or Older
If you are at least 59½ years old, you can take a distribution and then make a gift from your IRA without penalty. If you itemize your deductions, you can take a charitable deduction for the amount of your gift.
At Any Age
No matter your age, you can designate St. Timothy as the beneficiary of all or a percentage of your IRA and it will pass to us tax-free after your lifetime. It’s simple, just requiring that you contact your IRA administrator for a change-of-beneficiary form or download a form from your provider’s website.
Tip: It is critical to let us know of your gift because many popular retirement plan administrators assume no obligation to notify a charity of your designation. The administrator also will not monitor whether your gift designations are followed. We would love to talk to you about your intentions to ensure that they are followed. We would also like to thank you for your generosity.
