Our goal would be to collect all funds within three years but understand things may arise during that time. We would like to see a five year hard deadline to closing out this campaign.

While you can definitely do that, you can also give online or even arrange a “gift in kind” or stock transfer. If you have an asset that has appreciated in value, it could be a tax advantage for you to fulfill all or part of your pledge by donating that asset instead. Please talk to your financial advisor and if it is advantageous for you, contact a deacon at your location or our financial office to work through the details.
