Offerings/Donations
You can help support the work of the church and the kingdom of God by contributing money or property to the church. We believe it is a good practice to provide a full accounting of all donations and expendatures every General Conference. Each accounting is posted on our website here.
Here are the variety of ways you can donate to the church:
You can make a general donation to church funds. Money donated here will be put to whatever purpose is most needed.
Donations to this fund are used to obtain land to build up the stakes of Zion. You can donate money or land to this fund.
Fast offerings are used to help the poor and needy. They are collected at the local level.
Fast Offerings should be donated to your local bishop. To pay Fast Offerings contact your local bishop.
To learn more about tithing read the entry in our teachings page.
Tithing is donated to your local bishop in connection with Consecration. Your local bishop will have more information about how to pay tithing.
The Printing Fund is a temporary fund that will pay for the printing of the Lord's Word, the fulness of the scriptures, and the revelations which the lord has given and which He shall give in the future.
It was revealed that the money for printing the scriptures is to be taken from a treasury in the United Orders. However there are no operational United Orders. Therefore this temporary Printing Fund was started to fulfill this purpose until the United Orders become established.
Quotes
3 And inasmuch as ye have not lands, let them buy for the present time in those regions round about, as seemeth them good, for it must be that they have places to live for the present time.
4 It must needs be necessary that ye save all the money that ye can, and that ye obtain all that ye can in righteousness, that in time ye may be enabled to purchase land for an inheritance, even the city.
- D&C 48:3, 4
