Weekly Offertory Basket

If you are currently making your donation through the offertory basket at Mass, please consider switching to OLA’s Online Giving (click here).

​

OLA’s Online Giving Program

We offer electronic giving as a way to automate your regular weekly offering as well as second collections and other special ministry collections. Electronic giving offers convenience for our parishioners and provides much-needed donation consistency for our parish.

​

OLA’s Online Giving lets you set up an automatic donation plan, change your donation plan, and make a one-time donation. As you contemplate future contributions, please consider electronic giving.

​

Bill Pay through your Bank is not the same as E-giving. OLA’s e-giving portal is different from your bank’s bill pay feature in two ways:

1. With OLA’s system, donations are almost immediately recorded by the church whereas your bank takes time to process and mail the check, and

2. OLA’s e-giving is processed electronically, so there is no need for staff and volunteers to handle a physical check for processing to the bank or to OLA’s giving history system.

​

OLA would appreciate you switching from Bill Pay to E-giving.

Amazon Smile

Amazon will donate 0.5% of the price of your eligible AmazonSmile purchases to the charitable organization of your choice. AmazonSmile is the same Amazon you know. Same products, same prices, same service.

Donating Stocks Electronically

If you have long-term stock holdings that have appreciated over time, you may be able to save on your tax bill by donating the stocks directly to OLA. The donation has to be made straight from your account to OLA’s Account. For more information about donating stock to OLA, please click here. 

​

See your tax advisor on whether this could be beneficial for you.

Charitable Rollover may be for you. Donations are excluded from Federal income and count as part of your Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) as well.  Check with your tax advisor before taking this step.

The mission of the Catholic Foundation of North Georgia is to support the ministries of the Catholic community through the effective long-term management of endowment funds and the encouragement of stewardship.
