Thank you so much for your financial support of the Cathedral of St. Philip! Here’s how you can help as we approach year-end:
- Online contributions can be made here. Contributions can be processed through Wednesday, December 31 in order to be considered for a 2025 tax-deduction.
- Cash and check contributions can be mailed, placed in the plate at any service, or hand-delivered to the Cathedral stewardship or finance offices. A contribution must be received at the Cathedral by Wednesday, December 31 or postmarked by Wednesday, December 31 in order to be considered a 2025 tax-deduction.
- Shares can be transferred electronically to Morgan Stanley Smith Barney (DTC #0015), Account #308-130762. Our contact is Cathy Lamb at 404-266-6315. Please notify David Rocchio, drocchio@cathedralATL.org or 404-365-1033, of the transfer.
- Review the implications of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act to your charitable giving with your financial advisor. Because the Cathedral uses fund accounting, parishioners can give before year-end toward future pledges (i.e. 2026 Pledge, Good Faith Chapel Pledge, 2027 Pledge, etc.)
- Consider your Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) from an IRA: If you are 70½ or older, you may choose to direct funds from your IRA payable directly to the Cathedral of St. Philip. Amounts distributed as a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) can be counted toward satisfying your RMD for the year, up to $100,000. The QCD is excluded from your taxable income. Contact your financial advisor or retirement plan to arrange the QCD.
Giving history can be checked anytime by logging into your TouchPoint record: cathedralATL.tpsdb.com.
Year-end statements of contributions will be mailed in late January 2026 accounting for all contributions in the 2025 calendar year. For questions, please contact David Rocchio drocchio@cathedralATL.org or 404-365-1033.
