Who will be asked to support the campaign?
Every registered parish family is asked to be a part of this effort. It is our hope that every parish family will make a truly sacrificial pledge to Together in Christ: Building on Firm Foundations.
What is the Advancement Foundation and why are they collecting the money?
The Advancement Foundation is a separate entity established by the Diocese of Fort Worth to support the fundraising efforts of the Diocese and its parishes and schools. The Advancement Foundation will accept your gifts in a fund designated specifically for the Together in Christ Capital Campaign.
Can I make my pledge online?
Yes, the Advancement Foundation has set up an online page where you may make a pledge to the campaign or make a one-time gift.
To what extent is a campaign commitment tax deductible?
Gifts to the Together in Christ Campaign are tax deductible to the fullest extent of the law. The application of such laws varies with individual circumstances. Donors with specific questions regarding tax deductibility should contact their attorney or financial advisor.
What if I would like to give stocks, real estate, or some other kind of gift?
There are several ways to make a donation to Together in Christ; please see the complete list on our Capital Campaign page.
How will I be recognized for my commitment?
The most important recognition you will receive is ultimately that of God Himself; remember that God is not outdone in generosity! St. Philip’s will also recognize your gift; donor recognition is a significant feature of every capital campaign. In addition, certain items and buildings in Phase I are available as naming opportunities to recognize significant gifts to the campaign. Contact Mark Masty for information about these opportunities.
Is my pledge legally binding?
A pledge is not legally binding; it is a gift, one you have made through your own discernment process with God. All we ask is that you do your best to fulfill your pledge and advise us of any changes that may affect your commitment.
Will my pledge be confidential?
All pledges will be kept as confidential as possible. Only the people responsible for maintaining the records will have access to your pledge.
