Ways to Give

Click here to make donations by using GiveCentral. You can use this website to make one time or recurring donations to the parish by using your credit card, debit card or other electronic check payments. 

As part of our communal life, each week at Mass we take up a collection to help support the parish.  Registered parishioners can sign up to receive monthly offertory envelopes to help keep track of on-going giving.  Envelopes are also available by the entrances of the doors.  The amounts received will be included on the contribution report you receive at year end.  We accept cash or checks.  Checks can be made payable to St. Hubert Parish.

Outside of weekly collections, donations of any size are gratefully accepted.  They can be contributed in the collection basket at Mass or mailed to St. Hubert Parish, 729 Grand Canyon, Hoffman Estates, IL 60169.  If you would like to make a donation or purchase something for the parish in memory of a loved one, please contact our pastor or our business office.

If you are over 72, you must take Minimum Required Distributions from your IRA or pay a stiff 50% tax penalty on the amount not taken. It may be tax advantageous to make donations directly from the IRA or 401K without actually taking possession of the funds before its transfer to the parish. Funds transferred from the IRA directly to the parish by check or wire transfer are considered Qualified Charitable Distributions ("QCD") which may be excluded from taxable income on the Federal and State of Illinois income tax returns up to $100,000 annually. QCD, if excluded from income, may not also be taken as a charitable deduction because the taxable income is already reduced.

Parishioners and friends of the parish can double their gift to St. Hubert if your employer has a Matching Gift Program.  To find out if your employer offers this valuable benefit, please contact your organization’s human resources department. 

If you are in a position to donate services, or are with an organization that has the expertise to help with a specific parish need, we would be very grateful.  For example, the sound system in the lower level of the church was an in-kind gift that benefited us greatly.  Please contact our pastor or business manager if you have something in mind.

Donating appreciated securities, held for more than one year, instead of cash can avoid capital gains taxes. The parish works through the Archdiocese of Chicago to accept gifts of stock or other securities. Click here to learn more and to complete the letter of intent to submit so that Archdiocese can notify St. Hubert of your gift.

This fund was established to support education activities of the parish. Contributions to the fund may be made by cash or check.  There is a monthly envelope that can be used for this purpose, or an electronic payment can be made via GiveCentral.  Or simply include a letter or note with your contribution explaining your intention to donate to the fund. Gifts from IRAs are also welcome and a generous way to help support this effort.

• Wills. You may wish to consider naming St. Hubert or the parish education endowment fund as a beneficiary of your will. You can do this by providing for either or both in your will or trust. To include St. Hubert in your will, the correct legal designation is: “Catholic Bishop of Chicago—A Corporation Sole, for the benefit of St. Hubert, Hoffman Estates, Il”. For more information, please contact the parish office.

• IRA or 401K Beneficiary Designation. You may also wish to designate St. Hubert as a beneficiary of your IRA or 401K for some or all of the remainder funds. You may need the tax ID of the parish if the trustee of the IRA or 401k requires the information. Our parish Business Manager, Teresa McCutchan, can help you with this. This can minimize the possible estate taxes that could be due. 

• Life Insurance. Some parishioners include St. Hubert as a beneficiary on a life insurance policy.

• Charitable Lead Trust and Charitable Remainder Trust. Drafted by a knowledgeable estate planning attorney, the Lead Trust provides an income stream from the trust to St. Hubert for a period of time. Afterwards the donor names beneficiaries of the trust (normally family members).  A Charitable Remainder Trust allows an income stream for the donor but the trust assets are donated to St. Hubert when the estate is settled.  If you would be interested in exploring these options, an estate planning attorney can help provide advice.
