Generously responding to God’s gifts is a reflection of spirituality and recognition that we are the stewards of his bounty. It is a way of life — something we do day in and day out. Your gifts, of any size, allows Grace and Holy Trinity Cathedral to express God’s love for the world through our liturgies, formation and outreach.
Stewardship at the Cathedral is not merely fundraising.
It is a grateful response to God’s many blessings. It is more than an annual pledge drive. Becoming good stewards for us is centered in our baptismal covenant to seek and serve Christ in all persons. That covenant informs all that we do here at Grace and Holy Trinity Cathedral, steering us to find ways to express our profound gratitude for what God has done in our lives and locate ways to give back to the world he loves and redeems.

If you are 70½ years or older, you can make a direct gift from your retirement account.

Additionally, a direct transfer from a retirement account to a charity will satisfy the minimum distribution requirements to the extent of the amount of the gift. If you file a joint return, your spouse can also have a QCD and exclude up to $100,000. See your accountant, investment advisor, or tax professional for more information on if you qualify.
