Overview

In an ideal world, contributing to a church would be as simple as “donor gives, church expresses gratitude.” However, churches need to consider the intricacies of giving, such as following correct record-keeping procedures and helping donors understand the circumstances in which they may claim tax deductions. These handouts can help pastors, board members, treasurers, and other church leaders maintain high legal and ethical standards.

This Training Pack contains all of the following:
