​Ways to donate to Hope 
 
1. Use the  offering envelopes  and place in
the offering plate during the worship service.

2. You may  also mail  your offering,  either with or
without the offering envelope, to the Church Office.
(Hope Lutheran Church,  attn: Financial Secretary,
32400 Hoover Rd, Warren MI 48093-1100)

3. Through our website, you can arrange a onetime
‘eGift’  or a recurring  ‘eGift’  (weekly,  monthly, etc.).
Follow the instructions on the website.  (There is no
charge to  the member  to use electronic giving thru
our provider, Vanco Services.  For the church, dona-
tions  from  a checking  or savings  account  have a
minimal fee, but for  credit or debit cards, a process-
ing fee of  about 3%  is subtracted from the amount
that Hope receives from the donation.)​
​
4. For a recurring  ‘eGift’, you can complete a paper
form  (available  in a  ‘Stewardship’  mailbox  in  our
church entryway). Pass the form on to our Financial
Secretary or Treasurer.  They will handle the interac-
tion with our provider, Vanco Services

5. Use a smart-phone app called Give+Mobile.  It is
available with Apple iPhone or with Android phones.
Search “give plus church” in your app store or go to
website giveplushelp.vancopayments.com

6. Many banks have an online “Bill Pay” feature
linked to  your checking account.  This “Bill Pay”
can also  be  used  for  charitable  contributions.
Generally,  it is  only necessary  to enter Hope’s
name and  address to  have a  check with  your
donation  mailed  by  the  bank  to  Hope.  If the
online  form asks  for an  invoice number  or ac-
count number, use your ‘envelope’ number.

7. For  members  with  annual  incomes within  a
certain dollar range, some tax savings can result
by opening  a Donor-Advised  Fund and  making
your charitable contributions from the DAF.

8. For members aged 72+ and having  an IRA, tax
savings will  result if  donations to Hope  are made
directly from the IRA (called a Qualified Charitable
Distribution).  This  distribution  counts  toward the
Required  Minimum  Distribution  but  is  not taxed
as income. 

9. If you are a member of Thrivent Financial, you
can  direct your  Thrivent Choice  dollars to Hope.
In addition,  you can apply annually  for up to two
$250 Action  Grant gift cards  that can be used to
defray  costs  for Hope-sponsored  community or
church events​

10. Select Hope Lutheran Church in Warren, MI
as your preferred Amazon Smile charity
​Bring the  full  tithe  into  the  storehouse,  that
there may  be food in my house.  And thereby
put me to  the test,  says the Lord of hosts,  if
I will not open the windows of  heaven for you
and pour  down for  you a  blessing until there
is no more need.  
- Malachi 3:10
