BUILDING PROGRAM GIFT OPTIONS AND OPPORTUNITIES

Gift Options
All members are asked to prayerfully consider gifts above and beyond what they
give in their regular offerings and other contributions to the church. And there are
a variety of ways that gifts can be made.
Long term subscriptions, or pledges payable over three years, are easier for
most and essential to meeting our goal, since it would be impractical, if not
impossible, to reach our objectives with one time, out-of-pocket gifts. Gifts may
be made in monthly, quarterly, semi-annual or annual installments at the donor’s
discretion. A 10% initial investment toward your total pledge is requested.
Non-cash gifts are an additional or alternative way you can support our cause.
You may, for example, wish to consider gifts “in kind” such as labor and
materials; gifts of securities such as stocks and bonds; gifts of real estate or even
personal property such as artwork, automobiles, jewelry and antiques.
And finally, you can also choose to support our efforts though deferred gifts.
These are gifts that can be given or arranged for now, but will not be received
until later, and include gifts through a person's will by bequest, gifts of life
insurance policies or annuities, and gifts in trust.
Gift Opportunities
We also have a number of very special gift opportunities available to donors of
qualifying gift amounts. These opportunities allow people the chance to
designate their gifts to specific project components and to dedicate them in honor
or memory of those they choose.

Prices of the stated items are not necessarily reflective of the component’s cost. Rather they are
based on the prominence of the item, our needs, and hopefully, the gift abilities of our community.
Although payments for these gifts may be made over the entire pledge period, recognition will not be
received until the gift is paid in full.
Donors of specific gift items will have their names and/or the names of those they
are honoring with their gifts inscribed directly on the item given or on special
plaques or nameplates placed on or near the item, where appropriate. In
addition, all donors, regardless of the size of their gift, will have their names
listed in a special bulletin insert announcing campaign results as well as on a
special “Donor Wall” or “Donor Book” that will be displayed in our facilities.
Summary
But whatever the gift or method of making it may be, please be assured that
your support is both urgently needed and will be greatly appreciated. Through
the prayerful, volunteer and financial support of many, and the extra-ordinary
support of a few, we will succeed in our task.
The population of our beautiful Lake Almanor area is projected to continue
growing. Won’t you please join us in this exciting and essential effort to provide a
beautiful retreat from the hectic world for today’s Catholics, so we can better
serve one another, and show our unity as a community of one family in Christ?
active disciples of Him, the ultimate steward.
