Thank you for your gift. Please note that the federal laws specify that gifts earmarked for a particular individual is not deductible to the donor. However, a deduction will be allowed if it is established that the gift is intended by the donor for the use of the charitable organization. So, you may enjoy your charitable contribution deduction, please note that any donor recommendation is advisory only. The church will make every effort to honor a donor’s recommendations, so long as the recommendations align with one or more of the church’s charitable purposes or programs, but the church will retain full control of the donated funds and discretion as to their use.
