Annual Giving
Why Your Support
of St. Paul’s
Is Important
Every year St. Paul’s must raise virtually every
dollar we spend because, unlike many churches, we do
not have a sizable endowment — a kind of "rainy-day" reserve
fund, built up over time — to draw on for support
of our programs and ministries.
Instead, the generous gifts
of our members and friends, and monies raised via our various parish
events,
help us to live up to our call to serve Nantucket Island,
and the world. These gifts are critically important to
us.
Important ways to give to St. Paul’s:
- Annual Giving (see below)
- Memorial Gifts and Tributes
- A Planned
Gift
Annual Giving
Our budget, our operations and our mission depend on predictable support from our parishioners and friends. At the end of every summer we hold our annual Every Member Canvass (EMC) drive in which we ask for pledges or gifts to support the church and its work for the coming year. The results of this campaign allow us to forecast our income for the coming year and adjust our plans and programs accordingly. Please consider supporting our yearly EMC campaign. By making an annual pledge or gift, you are helping St. Paul's to answer
God's call to the ministries that educate us,
spiritually prepare us, and improve our local and global
community
Please contact the Parish Office if you would like more information or are interested in making a pledge or gift to St. Paul's.
