Giving
At SBC of Monrovia, we have multiple ways to pay your tithes and to make an offering. During church services you can submit your payment in person by either check or cash, if you prefer you can use the Vanco App to make a secure payment online or by using the mobile app or you can mail your payment by check to the church office.
Online Giving
At SBC we offer a secure and convenient way to pay your tithes and offerings online using either your credit/debit card or checking account. Once you setup your online account, you can easily return to it to make one-time or recurring contributions, view giving history, and even view your year-end tax statement.
Willis Meeks Benevolence Fund
Our Benevolence Fund has been designed to help those among us who are experiencing difficulty with basic needs such as food, shelter, and transportation. Gifts to the Benevolence Fund should not be marked for a specific individual.
Matching Gifts
Do you know if your company has a program to match charitable donations? It is estimated that over 65% of Fortune 500 companies offer matching gift programs; yet, over $6 billion in matching funds go unclaimed each year. Your tithes and offerings qualify as charitable contributions, so please take a moment and inquire with your employer to discover if your company offers a matching gift program. For any questions or required documents call (626) 358-2136.
Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD)
Did you know you can transfer funds directly from your IRA as a charitable contribution? If you are over age 70 ½, you have the option of directly transferring funds from your IRA to SBC. This tax provision was re-instated and became permanent in December of 2015. The law allows the transfer to take place tax free, and will not require you to report the distribution as income on your tax return – creating several possible tax benefits!
