The Building Fund for Hebron Center:
Gifts and Pledges

Many gifts will be needed to complete this project, and the participation of every congregation is critical to the success of this campaign. Of course the gifts vary in size, but we are hoping that we can count on equal generosity from all.

Here are the steps to begin the process of making your gift:

• Read the information on this site and make a list of any questions that remain when you have finished reading.
• Schedule a meeting with a member of the campaign committee with the Session of your church or the committee that would make the decision about a gift to the campaign. (Someone from the committee will call your pastor or clerk to find a time for a meeting.)

When a member of the Campaign Committee comes to meet with you, that person will be prepared to:

• answer your questions about the material on the site,
• provide additional details about the project,
• talk about the goal you might set,
• give practical suggestions for how that money may be raised over a 3 year period,
• give you information about named gift opportunities.

The heart of this campaign is gifts from churches, but contributions from individuals are needed as well. Every member of the Hebron Building Fund Committee has made a personal three year pledge to this campaign. There are many ways you can give to the Fund for Hebron Center from assets you own:

• You can make tax-deductible cash gifts over a period as long as four tax years (2004-2007).
• The Presbytery can accept stocks, bonds, real property, or life insurance policies.
• You can establish a trust which is flexible enough to make your gift meet government requirements and not take away from your income.
• Some people have appreciated stock and are using the dividends for income. A gift of stock can be sold without capital gains taxation. You will receive a tax deduction for your gift.
• If you have assets, such as rental property or real estate, that you would like to pass on to a heir, it is possible to give the Presbytery the right to the income for a given period of time and still provide that, at the end of the period, the assets be turned over to your designated heir.
