About St. Vincent’s finances
St. Vincent’s Orthodox Church has only one source of income: our members’ contributions. We receive no subsidies from any government entity.
E-transfer
Sending an e-transfer to St. Vincent’s is easy. Simply send it to treasurer@orthodoxsaskatoon.com
Bookstore
E-transfer to the same address as above, but please indicate in the message for your e-transfer that you are paying for a bookstore purchase.
Automatic debit
You can sign up for automatic debit. This helps us project our income for our financial planning. Please contact treasurer@orthodoxsaskatoon.com for more info about auto-debit
Tax Receipts
If you would like a tax receipt for your donations, you will need to tell our treasurer your name and address.
Donations Policy
We cannot accept donations that are strictly earmarked (i.e., gifts made with the expectation that they will be used for a specific purpose). In general, if the church accepts such donations, it must either use the money for the intended purpose or return it. In a formal sense, this is called ‘fund accounting’ and is not recommended for small charities such as churches because the accounting requirements are too burdensome. The only exception would be for specific fundraising initiatives. We will continue the same charitable work we have been doing, but any specified uses for the donations will be treated only as suggestions. Please feel free to contact our priest if you have any questions.
