All Saints Church – Giving FAQ

At All Saints Church, we strive to embody God’s love in a wondrous and needy world by coming together to ensure that all of us who are part of this beloved community grow in our commitment to one another and in gratitude for all that we have received from God’s amazing creation.  One way we do that is through annual giving and generosity, which underpin every aspect of our work and witness.  We are deeply committed to living into our values of radical inclusion, courageous justice, joyful spirituality, and ethical stewardship.

One powerful step you can take to be part of this work is by providing financial support for the mission of All Saints Church – a mission centered around the healing and transformation of ourselves, our community, and the world.

What is a pledge, and what does it mean?

• A pledge is a financial promise, a commitment to this community and to the mission of All Saints Church.
• Your pledge means that we can fulfill our promise to nurture ministries that enrich the lives of the people of this parish, our surrounding community, and the world. Ministries such as Peace and Justice – Pastoral Care/Health & Healing – Children, Youth, and Families – Music – Adult Formation and Education.
• You will find that giving generously is a gift to yourself – an act of joy that feels good and feels right. [Fill out a pledge card here.]

How much should I pledge?

• We ask individuals to consider a pledge that is bold but achievable, that is for you a leadership gift.
• A tithe is 10% of one’s annual income, and many people are on a journey of giving with this goal.

When should I make my pledge?

• We ask everyone to make a pledge in the fall, during the Giving Campaign, for the following year.

What if I don’t know what I’ll be able to afford next year?

• Many people with fluctuating incomes choose to make a base pledge they know they can fulfill, contributing over and above that amount a circumstances permit.

How and when do I fulfill my pledge?

• You may pay your pledge with cash, checks, through automatic bank payments, a credit card, stock, IRA rollovers, or from a donor advised fund. [Visit this page for more info about ways to give.]
• Your pledge may be paid monthly, quarterly – according to any schedule that works for you. Remember that it must be completed by December 31.

Does All Saints live within its means?

• Yes! Each year the Vestry adopts a balanced budget, based on the aggregate amount pledged, which is regularly monitored.  Timely fulfillment of annual pledges is crucial if we are to sustain the ministries and programs of All Saints Church.

When you pledge, you will receive a set of offering envelopes.  To ensure your gifts are properly credited and acknowledged, please use these envelopes when paying by cash or check.  If you prefer to fulfill your pledge by credit card or to use the online banking option, please let us know.
