A New Giving Platform

- You’ll receive an email from Overflow with a personalized link to transfer your giving details. Follow the link to update your payment method and activate your recurring gift.
- Cancel your existing gift in PushPay. See below for instructions.
To access your Overflow account, simply log in. You can see past contributions, recurring gifts, and change account settings.

You can give any publicly-traded stock through Overflow.
Giving Appreciated Stock
Giving stock that you’ve held for over a year can save you up to 37% in federal income taxes based on the value of the charitable gift when itemizing deductions and protect your realized gains from being subjected to long-term capital gains tax, which can be up to 20%.
Consult with a tax professional to understand the full tax benefits of giving appreciated stock, including potential state tax savings.
Giving Company Stock Outside the Trading Window
If you received company-distributed stock as an employee and the trading window is not open, your brokerage will likely reject the transfer request. We suggest you ask your company for the trading windows and give during those time periods, which typically are open quarterly for three to four weeks at a time.
You can give through your bank’s online bill payment service. Your bank will send Echo.Church the payment, and we will add it to your giving record as if you had written a check yourself. Just indicate “Echo.Church” as your payee, specify your name as the account, and use the following information for the payee address:
Echo.Church
1172 Murphy Ave. Suite 130
San Jose, CA 95131
Allow 24 to 48 hours for your transaction to post to your giving record after we receive the check.
Once you’ve set up your recurring giving in Overflow, you’ll need to cancel your recurring gift in PushPay. Here’s how:
- Log in to PushPay.
- Click Home and type search for “echo church.”
- Select Echo.Church from the dropdown.
- On the right side of the page, click View under Recurring Payments.
- Click Actions above the gift you wish to cancel.
- Click Yes, Cancel on the popup.
