Give Online
When you give online, you’re partnering with thousands of St. Luke’s members and friends who bring hope to Central Florida and beyond. Our Pushpay portal lets you give a one-time gift, set up a recurring schedule, or support our endowment funds. Every dollar funds worship, children’s ministry, food security, and hands-on mission projects—all audited annually and reported to you.

More Ways To Give
A gift of stocks and/or mutual funds is the most common way to make an additional gift to the church. These gifts are tax-deductible at the full fair market value subject to some limitations. Also, the gain is not subject to taxation to the donor or the church. Example: a donor paid $2,000 to purchase stock now worth $10,000. If the donor sells the stock, he/she pays capital gains taxes on the $8,000 gain. If the donor gives the stock to the church, neither the donor nor the church pays taxes and the donor receives a $10,000 tax deduction.
Contact Andrea Whisnant-Burgis, aw*******@******es.org or 407-955-4796 for more information about non-cash contributions and always consult your legal, financial and tax advisor about the tax deductibility of your gifts.
The endowments are permanent, donor-funded pools whose earnings fuel ministries and special projects beyond the church’s annual operating and building budgets—ensuring St. Luke’s mission endures for generations. Please see our current Endowment Impact Report.
Governance & Investment
The funds are overseen by an endowment committee elected by Charge Conference. Gifts may be given via wills, insurance, real estate, cash, and other planned giving options. The principal is preserved and invested with the Florida United Methodist Foundation for long-term growth.
