“God performed many wonders and signs through the apostles.”
-Acts 2:43b
Sunnyvale Pres is a church that acts—in many ways to respond to God's call to a ministry of peace, justice, and love.
Join us each Sunday in October for our sermon series A Church That Acts, and to hear video stories from people about the programs, groups, and mission efforts that help them feel connected to others and to God's love in our community and the world.
For 2027, we encourage everyone to make a financial pledge to the shared ministry of our church. No matter the dollar amount of your pledge, everyone's participation matters! If you give occasionally or regularly to the church, would you commit to an annual pledge? For those who pledge regularly, please consider increasing your support.
Thank you for your continued participation in and financial support of Sunnyvale Presbyterian, a church that acts!

Endowment. Benefit future generations.
Sunnyvale Presbyterian Church maintains an Endowment Fund supported by gifts from members of the church community. The principal of this fund remains intact, while income from this fund (generated through interest, dividends, and capital gains) is used to support our church's ministry.
Sunnyvale Presbyterian Church encourages its members to consider providing for the long-term ministry of the church through their wills and trusts. To aid in this matter, the Endowment Committee has prepared two pamphlets:
Stock Donation. Receive tax advantages.
Donating stock is one of the ways that you can give to the ongoing work of Sunnyvale Presbyterian Church. Indeed, donating stock that has appreciated in value can be a way of fulfilling your financial commitment or supporting the Endowment Program while realizing a double tax advantage. The following documents contain information on how to give stock to the church:

Want to pay less taxes? Three popular ways.
Here are three popular ways people are giving to charities and reducing their tax
burden:
1) Give from your IRA/401K/403B distribution directly to Sunnyvale Presbyterian
Church. If a donor is over age 70½, a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD)
may count towards satisfying your annual Required Minimum Deduction (RMD).
If the distribution is sent directly to Sunnyvale Presbyterian Church as a
contribution, it is not recognized as taxable income.
2) Give appreciated stock. If you give stock shares directly to Sunnyvale
Presbyterian Church, you may claim the current market value of the shares as a
charitable gift. You also do not pay taxes on your gains.
3) Give through your Charitable Trust Accounts such as a Donor Advised Fund. A
tax deduction can be taken when the fund is established and the donor
determines how the funds are to be invested and to whom (and when) the funds
may be given.
This is meant to be an overview. In all cases, please consult your tax advisor.
Qualified Charitable Distribution
A "Qualified Charitable Distribution" (QCD) is a distribution from an IRA directly to the charitable organization. Learn more about QCDs.
