FREQUENTLY asked QUESTIONS.
How does NewCov use my funds?
New Covenant Community Church is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit tax-exempt organization.
Our Tax ID# is 77-0159317.
All donations to New Covenant are tax deductible to the extent that no goods or services were provided in connection with the donation.
All donations are received with the understanding that New Covenant Community Church has complete discretion and control over the use of the funds.
How do I keep track of my contribution statement for my donations?
NewCov is trying to become as paperless as possible! Years ago we went to a fully integrated system that helps you keep better track of your giving throughout the year.
All contributions you make are linked to your myNewCov account. If you haven’t already created a log-in and password, please visit myNewCov and click “Sign Up”.
Once you’ve set up your account, your giving statements can be viewed at any time by logging into your account. The option for viewing your giving statements allows you to better track your giving where applicable and gives you immediate access when you need your statement. All giving information is at your fingertips with the click of a few buttons! We do this in an effort to make your giving easier and more effective for the kingdom.
Those who make online donations will be able to see those donations any time they access their online giving account. If you were using CCB for giving in 2024, you will be receiving a printed donation receipt in the mail. We have discontinued CCB payments, so if you have not transferred your donation information over to PUSHPAY and you need help, please contact us:

Whom do I contact if I have questions about my giving history?
Please contact Alicia Alvarez at alicia@newcov.com or (559) 298-0688 ext. 1206.
I want to restrict my gift to a particular project or program. Can I do this?
By default, donations go into our General Fund.
However, you may request that your gift be used for an approved project or program
(for example, Doubling Down). Other approved projects or programs may arise periodically throughout the year
(e.g., Disaster Relief, etc.).
What happens to my gift if more money is raised than is needed for a restricted fund?
We will always do our best not to raise more than is needed for a particular project or program, but we cannot always guarantee this.
Once a restricted fund’s purpose is met, we will close the fund. If excess donations have been made,
we reserve the right to use those funds for other strategic purposes.
All donations are received with the understanding that New Covenant Community Church has complete discretion and control over the use of the funds.
I want to restrict my gift to a particular person. Can I do this?
A gift restricted to a specific individual constitutes a person-to-person gift and is not tax-deductible.
You can restrict your gift and suggest it be used to help a specific person, but final distribution decisions will be made at the discretion of the Pastors and Deacons.
What if I miss the offering basket as it comes by?
You can simply submit your offering in person at Guest Services, during the week at the Church Office, or GIVE ONLINE.
Can I set up automatically scheduled contributions?
Yes. You can set up automatic payments through our ONLINE GIVING platform.
Once you create an account, you will have the option to make a one-time gift or schedule recurring contributions weekly, monthly, on a specific day of the month, or other flexible intervals.
What is NewCov's position on using my credit card to make donations or other payments to the church?
While NewCov does accept credit cards, we strongly encourage our members not to use credit cards for donations, registrations, or transactions if they are unable to pay off their balance in full each month. We prefer the use of checks and debit cards for those carrying revolving debt.
For anyone seeking to manage their money God’s way, we encourage enrolling in a NewCov biblical financial class, such as Dave Ramsey’s “Financial Peace University”.
If you are interested, please send an email to info@newcov.com.
Do you have envelopes available for me to give cash?
Yes! A supply of offering envelopes is available at the Welcome Center or from any usher.
If you typically place your tithe check in an offering basket during worship services, you do not need to use an envelope.
If you are giving cash, we strongly encourage you to use an envelope and write your full name and address on the outside to ensure you receive a tax deduction.
Note: Please do not send cash in the mail.
How can I make a stock contribution to New Covenant Community Church?
