Will I get a receipt of my giving? Yes. The Sunshine Cathedral MCC is recognized by the IRS as a qualified tax-exempt organization.

Per IRS regulations, contributions for each year must be received or postmarked by December 31 of that year in order to receive donation credit for that year’s tax purposes.

Where do my donations to Sunshine Cathedral go? General Operating Fund: Donations to Sunshine Cathedral support its General Operating Fund. This fund makes possible the many day-to-day ministries and services of the church.

Special funds: Periodically, opportunities to designate a donation to a specific purpose become available. Examples of such purposes include the Building Fund and Capital Campaign; Christmas Eve Sponsorships; or special initiatives such as the MCC Global Justice Institute

To designate your contribution for such a specific purpose simply indicate the name of the purpose or initiative on the memo line of your check or on your offering envelope.

Good stewardship of your giving. We want to avoid any criticism of the way we administer this liberal gift, “for we are taking pains to do what is right, not only in the eyes of the [Divine], but also in the eyes of others.” 2 Corinthians 8.20-21

The Board of Directors, the staff, and church leaders work hard to assure that all of our resources are used carefully and wisely.
