Still Need Help? Whether you get stuck in the process of switching to Subsplash Giving or have questions about the new giving platform, we would love to help. You can call us at 503-570-2988 or email us at [email protected]

There are many factors contributing to the decision to make the switch from Pushpay to Subsplash, these include but are not limited to:

1. One Platform: Now our website, app and giving platform are all within Subsplash. This makes cost and user interaction more streamlined.
2. Save Resources: Subsplash’s innovative Grow Curve offers the industry’s lowest processing rates. Saving us a considerable amount of money every year.
3. Fast & Secure: Not only is Subsplash certified for the highest encryption and security, but the process of giving online can also take less than one minute.

Yes, we will provide you a digital record of your contributions to Grace Chapel at the beginning of the calendar year.

We’ve taken steps to ensure that the giving process is safe and secure from beginning to end. All of your giving data is secured by Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encryption.  This security protocol provides communications privacy over the Internet. It is the same technology used by banks and e-commerce companies to keep your information safe and secure during transactions.

Yes.  Once you’ve created an account with us, you’ll be able to view all of your giving history.  If you are giving cash, put it in an envelope and indicate the gift has come from you, that way we can attribute the financial gift to you. Click here to access your account login page.

Your contributions to Grace Chapel are held with the highest level of confidentiality. Only the Finance Team has access to the giving records of the church.

You will not incur any fees when giving online to Grace Chapel. When you choose to give online, please know that a small percentage of your gift will go toward fees which we cannot avoid. Below is a description of what kind of fees are involved so you can decide how you would prefer to give.

ACH/E-Check: Giving with by ACH or e-check is the best online option. There is a 0.30¢ transaction fee and a 1% processing fee; meaning if you give $100, the church receives $98.70.
Debit Card: Giving with debit card has a 2% transaction fee; meaning if you give $100, the church receives $98.00.
Credit Card: Giving with a credit card has a 3% transaction fee; meaning if you give $100, the church receives $97.00.

We think the convenience for you is worth the cost to us. However, if you want to maximize your gift, consider writing a check or using your bank’s bill pay to automate your gifts to the church.

Generally, yes. For example, if you have appreciated stocks or mutual funds in a taxable investment portfolio, you likely have a significant opportunity to pay less tax, give more, improve your personal cash flow, and simplify your giving. Stocks, bonds, and mutual funds are great ways to give without incurring capital gains on appreciated assets. Gifting appreciated assets results in a double tax benefit: (1) no income tax due (ordinary or capital gains) to you and (2) the full value of the donated asset goes to the church.

For example, if you purchased stocks, mutual funds, and bonds for $1,000 several years ago and the value is now $10,000, rather than selling the securities and paying tax on the $9,000 gain, you could donate the securities directly to the church. You would avoid capital gains taxes on the $9,000, receive a $10,000 charitable giving tax deduction, as well as provide the church with the full $10,000 value of the securities. Grace Chapel will receive the stocks, bonds, and mutual funds directly (don’t sell them first!) and, after receiving the donation, liquidate the assets (Grace Chapel will not pay income tax or gains) and utilize the proceeds for the building fund.

If you hold a traditional IRA, you may also be eligible to donate your required minimum distributions, up to $100,000 per year if paid directly from the IRA to the Church. You will not incur income taxes on the distribution (a big bonus to you) and Grace Chapel will receive the full value of your donation, with no tax loss.

First, prepare an initiation letter to your financial advisor or custodian (Fidelity, Charles Schwab, etc) to let them know you will be making the donation. Then, click HERE to complete the donation request form for Grace Chapel. Stacy Carter will reach out to you to schedule the gift and coordinate with your account manager and the church’s securities custodian.

If you want to donate vehicles, real estate, or other unique properties, please email Stacy Carter by clicking HERE and Grace Chapel will arrange for the donation.
