We use giving numbers to help us keep track of giving here at St Columba, to keep your details confidential, and so we can make sure it is all allocated to your end-of-year giving statement. We can only issue Tax deductible statements if you use a Giving Number. Please note that only NZ based giving towards St Columba based projects and funds are eligible for IRD tax rebate on donations.

2 Corinthians 9:7 (NIV) says, "Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver."
