How to Give

Now more than ever, St. Andrew’s needs your financial support to keep the work of the church going: to hold in-person as well as online events and services, to provide pastoral care—and to keep our physical building and grounds in good shape. We offer many possibilities for giving; you may make a donation right from the form below, or read about other ways to contribute to the well-being of the parish. Thank you in advance!

 

Other ways to pay

• Pay by check: Mail a check, or drop a check in the box outside the office door at the church; someone checks the mail, and the box, daily.
  
  
• Use automatic bill pay: Set up a recurring payment through your bank. Add Church of St. Andrew into your Bill Pay service, using the address 135 Lafayette Street, Marblehead, MA 01945. Set up a recurring monthly payment if convenient.

If you want to direct your gift to a specific appeal, put a note in the memo line to help us put it in the right place. If you are making a payment on your pledge, be sure to put “2020 pledge” on the memo line.

• Make a qualified charitable distribution: You can request a distribution from an IRA directly to Church of St. Andrew as a Qualified Charitable Distribution. The custodian sends a check for the distribution directly to us, and the gift is not subject to taxation, and is excluded from your taxable income. Check with your fund custodian for details, and, if appropriate, with your tax advisor or preparer.
  
  
• Consider a gift of securities: Make donations of securities directly to the church’s custodian, Fidelity. This form is intended to give instructions to your broker to do this, but please send us a copy so that we can properly credit the gift to you.

Thank you in advance for your support of our parish!
