Different people find different ways convenient for fulfilling their pledges:
● Weekly, monthly, or quarterly checks, either mailed to the church or dropped in an envelope in the collection basket
● A single annual payment
In addition, some people find it advantageous to fulfill part or all of their pledges through the donation of appreciated securities. If you think this might be good for you, be sure to read the special instructions for such contributions.
Pledge statements showing the balance outstanding are sent out periodically during the year. Just after the end of the calendar year, statements are sent out giving information on pledges and other donations, for tax purposes.
