giving faq

We want to make sure when you visit COMMUNITY, you know what to expect and feel comfortable!

I received an email from COMMUNITY about transitioning my recurring gift. Is it legit?

Yes. We are switching online giving providers. Please also look for an email from Overflow to help you transfer your gift to the new platform. You’ll need to click the Transfer button in the most recent email you received from Overflow.

I haven’t received an email from Overflow with the TRANSFER button. What should I do?

If you haven’t seen an email from Overflow, please check your spam folder and/or search for emails with a Subject that starts with “Take Action Today”. If you still can’t find the email, please email support@overflow.co. Their support team is fantastic!

How do I set up a new recurring gift?

To give online, go to givenow.cc. On the COMMUNITY app, click the Give icon and then Give Now. Once you’re on our giving page, choose Recurring as your preferred option and follow the prompts.

How do I manage my recurring gift?

To update the status, payment method, frequency or timing or your recurring gift, navigate to overflow.co and click Donor Login in the upper right.

I have questions about my giving. Who can I contact?

If you have any questions about your giving, please don’t hesitate to contact us at gbtg@communitychristian.org.

How do I access my giving statement?

Giving statements are available on the My Account page under Giving History. Select a Year and, when it opens, Print (Ctrl+P or Cmd+P) and Save as PDF.

I would like to mail in a check. How can I do that?

Absolutely! Please make checks payable to Community Christian Church and mail them to our main office located at 1635 Emerson Ln, Naperville, IL 60540. We will ensure that your gift is attributed to your home location.

What is ACH? Why is it beneficial and how do I set it up?

An ACH (aka EFT, eCheck or Bank Account) transaction is a safe electronic money transfer made directly between banks and credit unions.

  • Greater Kingdom impact – ACHs have significantly lower processing fees than Credit or Debit Card donations (and that includes ApplePay or GooglePay). That means more of your giving supports the Jesus Mission!
  • More secure – ACH transfers are typically at lower risk of unauthorized charges and are also less likely to fail due to declined cards or expirations.
  • Worry Free – Provides you with a stable and consistent way to give. You maintain all the security protocols and fraud protection offered by your bank. 

To set up ACH giving, click here and, when prompted to Choose a Payment Method, click the ‘Bank Account’ button. Follow the prompts to connect to your account.

Who is Overflow?

Overflow is a digital solution that allows you to donate a variety of ways to COMMUNITY. Overflow allows your dollars to go further by offering some of the most tax-efficient ways to give (stock, crypto and donor-advised funds) and the lowest processing fees on the market. Overflow makes it easy to give what you want, how you want.

Is Giving through Overflow safe and secure?

Yes. Overflow's Information Security Program is SOC 2 Type 2 compliant and follows strict criteria set forth by the SOC 2 Framework, a widely respected information security auditing procedure. Overflow does not have access to, nor does it store any account login information. For security and data privacy measures, Overflow uses trusted third-party providers to handle the account login process. Thousands of companies use Plaid and Yodlee to connect their clients’ accounts to financial institutions.

Does Overflow have an app for giving?

No. Rather than having to download another app, our new platform allows you to give directly through COMMUNITY’s app and website.

What is the tax benefit of donating appreciated stock?

Donating an appreciated stock that you've held for over a year could allow you to save up to 20% in capital gains taxes and up to 37% in federal income taxes depending on your tax bracket. To understand the full tax benefits of giving appreciated assets and your personal tax implications, please consult your tax professional.

What specific stock could I donate? 

Overflow supports the transfer of any publicly traded stock that is exchanged on the US stock market. If you are employed by a publicly traded company and receive stock as part of your compensation, you can donate that stock with ease through the Overflow platform.

Overflow also supports the transfer of ETFs, Mutual Funds and Retirement Accounts, but there may be restrictions. If you have specific questions, Overflow’s concierge services (stockgifts@overflow.co) will work with you directly to understand the restrictions and implications. We also recommend consulting your tax professional before donating these types of assets.

Can I give from my retirement account?

It depends! Overflow can process all whole shares of publicly traded stock, including from retirement accounts (401K, 403b, Roth IRA, and Traditional IRA). However, you will incur a tax penalty if you remove retirement funds before you reach retirement age and some employer-sponsored retirement plans will not allow early fund distribution at all. Because of these restrictions and potential penalties, we recommend consulting your tax professional before donating these types of assets. If you decide to proceed, Overflow’s concierge services (stockgifts@overflow.co) will work with you directly to facilitate the transfer of these assets.

What is a donor-advised fund and what is the benefit of giving from a DAF?

A donor advised fund (DAF) is a specialized financial account used for charitable giving. It allows individuals to make a charitable contribution, receive an immediate tax deduction from the DAF and then make grants to 501(c)(3) organizations over time. 

The main benefit of a DAF is the ability to donate and take an immediate tax deduction while deciding how the donation should be used. While the donation is irrevocable, it can grow tax-free in the DAF via investment while the decision is being contemplated.

Why should I consider giving cryptocurrency? Which cryptos can I donate and how do I claim a charitable tax deduction?

Cryptocurrency can be donated just like stock. Instead of selling your appreciated crypto and donating the after-tax proceeds, consider donating it directly to COMMUNITY. You will be eligible for a tax deduction equal to the fair market value of the donated crypto and the appreciation in the value of the donated asset will not be subject to capital gains taxes.

Cryptocurrencies that are compliant and accepted within the United States are available to give through Overflow's crypto donation processing platform. For specific questions, please email support@overflow.co or check The Giving Block

If you wish to claim a charitable tax deduction for crypto gifts over $5,000, you will need to have the donation appraised by an outside party. COMMUNITY is tax exempt and does not need to conduct an appraisal to receive the donation but contact support@overflow.co to connect with a qualified crypto appraiser and to have the cost of the appraisal covered by The Giving Block.
