Giving to Reveille
Thank you for your generous support of Reveille. Because of your faithful giving, we can share God's love, serve our local community, and support missions near and far. Every gift makes a direct difference, and we are deeply grateful for your partnership in our work to welcome all, grow faith, serve others, and worship together.
- All transactions are safe, secure, and easy to set up as a one-time gift or recurring support.
- Recurring gifts help you make giving a spiritual discipline and provide consistent support for our ministries.
- Consider using direct debit from your checking or savings account instead of a credit card. Lower processing fees mean more funds for ministry.
- You can also give by cash or check during the offering at our Sunday worship services or mail your check payable to "Reveille UMC” to Reveille UMC, 4200 Cary Street Road, Richmond, VA 23221.
Other ways to support Reveille
Make an annual pledge
Each fall we offer the opportunity to make a pledge of support for the coming year during our stewardship campaign. Our 2027 campaign, Even Greater Things, will begin in October and we hope you will pledge to support our new churchwide initiatives focusing on inviting, serving, and deepening faith.
Qualified Charitable Distributions from an IRA
If you are age 70½ or over, you may transfer tax-free gifts totaling up to $111,000 per individual per year directly to a qualified charity from your traditional IRA. These transfers, known as qualified charitable distributions (QCDs), become tax-free if they’re paid directly from the IRA to an eligible charitable organization such as Reveille. For those who are at least 73, QCDs count toward the IRA owner’s required minimum distribution (RMD) for the year.
Donor Advised Funds
A donor advised fund can ensure you have sufficient deductions to be able to itemize in a tax year. By establishing and contributing to a donor advised fund this year, you can take the maximum tax deduction the IRS allows for this year, even though the distributions from your fund to Reveille and other charities may not be made until next year or later.
Gifts of Stock or Other Appreciated Assets
Giving stocks, bonds, or mutual funds that have gained in value is a win-win situation. When you give stock directly to the church, you receive a tax deduction for the current market value and avoid long-term capital gains taxes. These securities may be donated directly or used in planned gifts (such as charitable trusts or charitable gift annuities). In terms of tax benefits, it is often better to give appreciated assets rather than cash.
You can transfer stocks and bonds to Reveille through your broker who will need the following information to complete the transaction:
