Are there any fees involved with giving online?
There are no fees to the giver. Legacy pays a processing fee for online giving transactions. There is a way for you cover a percentage of the processing fee when you give your gift if you choose to do that.
When will gifts be taken from my account?
Gifts will be taken from your specified bank account within 48 business hours of the date you requested. This time frame allows time for the gift to process through your bank and the church’s bank. If the date of your gift falls on a weekend or a holiday, the transaction will be initiated on the next banking day.
How will I know that I set up my gift correctly?
Immediately after setting up your gift, you will receive a confirmation email or text. You can also access past giving by logging into your Elexio Community account (previously called "My LegacyWIRED") using your current login. A list of your past giving records are accessible there.

Will I be able to give to special Legacy "funds"?
Yes, during times when special opportunities are occurring. At this time we fund all of the regular ministries of Legacy through our general fund.
How often should I make a gift to Legacy?
Many choose to make this gift every week as a way of expressing their thanks to God. Others do so according to the way in which they are paid.
Is my gift tax deductible?
Yes. Legacy is a non-profit organization under IRC 501(c)(3) and has received its recognition by the Internal Revenue Service, as a result, your gifts to Legacy are deductible; subject to any limitation given your specific tax filing situations. Giving statements are available for you to access through your account.
Is the amount needed for Legacy the same every year?
No. Each year, Legacy’s leaders evaluate the ministry needs for the upcoming year and make a prayerful projection of the cost for overall ministry.
