Ways to Give

Give Online

To pledge or donate online, click on the “Make an Online Gift” button below. It’s quick and easy!

Give by Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT)

Don’t want to worry about remembering to pay your pledge online, or write checks? St. Matthew’s would be happy to help with that! We can schedule your gift to be withdrawn from your account on the final Friday of each month. Please fill out this form, and return it to the Church Office. We will take care of the rest. The other advantage of this method is that there are no fees charged to the church or you!

Give by Mail

Pledges and donations can be mailed to 919 Tennis Ave., Maple Glen, PA 19002. Checks should be made payable to “St. Matthew’s Episcopal Church.”

Give During the Offertory

The easiest way to give with cash or check is during the offertory at our worship services. Enclose your offering in one of the envelopes found in the church pews.

Make a Gift of Appreciated Stock

If you own shares of stock of an individual stock or mutual fund that have increased in value, you will be able to deduct the full amount of the value (assuming you can itemize deductions), while bypassing recognition of capital gains. Many mutual fund companies, such as Vanguard and T. Rowe Price, have programs whereby they will send us a check directly, once you provide relevant information. We also have a Vanguard brokerage account that can accept shares of stock from other brokerage accounts. Upon receipt, we sell the shares and invest according to our approved investment allocation. Please contact our Parish Manager if you feel this may be a good option for you.

Make a Gift of Required Minimum Distributions from 401K Plans

If you are receiving required distributions from a 401(k) or IRA, you can direct part of those to St. Matthew’s with similar tax benefits as detailed in the Appreciated Stock Gift section above. Please contact your investment adviser or fund, and alert our Parish Manager.
