You may give online through the internet banking option provided by your bank. Adding Harvest Baptist Church as a payee will allow you to set up single or ongoing online offerings to the church.
Members of the HBC online community (called Realm) may give online by logging into their account, clicking on the “Giving” tab on the profile page, and then clicking on the “Give” The giving options include ACH, Debit, or Credit card and one-time or recurring donations may be setup.
Those who are not members of the online community can make a one-time gift via ACH, Debit, or Credit card by clicking on the following link https://onrealm.org/HarvestBaptistChurch/Give/TOKKUOSTMR and following the instructions.
For those donors who have highly appreciated investments (such as stocks, bonds, or mutual funds), there is a method to donate to the church which gives the donor a double tax advantage. Some brokerage companies setup a charitable organization to provide this service. The highly appreciated investment is transferred to the charitable organization and the value of the investment at the time of transfer is what the donor will claim as the charitable donation. Then the donor can have the charitable organization send a check(s) to the church on a one-time or recurring basis. Therefore, the donor can 1) claim the total value of the investment, including any gains, as a charitable donation and 2) does not have to pay capital gains tax on the appreciated amount of the investment. In essence, the capital gains are given to the church. One such brokerage firm that offers this is Fidelity. Go to http://www.fidelitycharitable.org/ to learn more.
