GIVING FAQs

Give Today

We are grateful for every gift! All gifts, regardless of their kind or size,
​make an impact on our parish and our broader community.

Faith, Generosity, and Mission; Growing Together - St. Paul's 150 years
Why does St. Paul's need to know what my giving will be in 2026?
We hope that each of you will plan to make a financial gift to St. Paul’s in this year, and the next. Stating your gift helps our vestry, our parish's governing board, plan for the use of our resources in support of the mission and ministry to which God has called us. The Vestry sets a budget based on the total amount of revenue we expect to receive. Gifts from our parishioners represent the greatest share of our total revenue, and have the largest impact on what we can fund in the coming year.

The Giving Campaign includes asking everyone to describe their intention
You can support St. Paul's mission and ministries by completing a Giving Form. Complete the form, save and email to [email protected], or print it out and return it to the church in person or by mail. If you prefer paper forms, they can be found in the narthex or obtained from the office.

Is my promise confidential?
Yes. Your name and the amount is known only to our bookkeeper. The Giving Campaign committee will be informed of your intention or gift, but not the amount, so they can acknowledge it.

What if my financial situation changes and I am not able to fulfill my intention?
We completely understand if you need to adjust your giving. Please let our bookkeeper know at [email protected].

Is my gift tax deductible?
Yes.  St. Paul’s is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, tax ID # 94-1243684. All donations are tax-deductible to the extent allowable by law.

Please consider making a promise, or statement of intent, to support the ministries of St. Paul’s in 2026. All submissions are totally confidential, and can be changed at any time.
