GIVING STATEMENT: 

St. John Lutheran Church is a qualified 501(c)(3) organization. Each financial contribution to St. John Lutheran Church is made to one of the following funds: the general fund, a dedicated fund, a solicited fund or a restricted fund. Contributions to the general fund, a dedicated fund, and a solicited fund will be treated as being deductible under the Internal Revenue Code. Contributions to a dedicated fund will accumulate until the fund cap is reached and the excess funds, if any, will go to the general fund. Solicited funds will be used for the specific purpose for which they were solicited, with any excess funds going to the general fund. A restricted donation will be used only for the purpose or person stated by the donor. St. John Lutheran Church reserves the right to return any portion or all of a restricted donation.

A donor who restricts an unsolicited donation to a specific use or person and does not relinquish control of the donated funds should be aware that such donation may be considered a restricted donation and as such, may not be a tax-deductible contribution.

The donor is encouraged to consult with an attorney or tax professional of the donor's choice.
