Annual Contributions from Parishes

Annual Contributions from parishes to the diocesan ECW are payable in January.

The more generous the contribution each parish makes, the more good will be accomplished through the Diocesan ECW in the diocese, the nation, and the world.  Each year, your parish should reconsider the amount you can contribute by your ability and willingness to giveYour contribution provides for Administration; Education, Information and Inspiration; and the Corporate Gift.  Annual gifts are also given to ECW College Scholarship, and the Church Periodical Club.

Please make checks payable to Episcopal Church Women, and mark ‘Proportionate Giving’ in the lower left hand corner.  Please mail checks to: Episcopal Church Women, Diocese of Alabama. 521 North 20th Street. Birmingham. AL 35203-2611.  If you do not plan to pay in January, please notify the ECW Treasurer (see contact info to the right) of the amount and expected date of payment.

The Corporate Gift allows the Diocesan ECW to make a significant contribution to a need larger than most parishes can accomplish alone.  The Corporate Gift is determined by the Board after consultation with the Bishop. Past recipients include; St. John’s for the Deaf, St. Dunstan’s, Kairos Ministry, the Diocesan quilt, the Diocesan Banner, the Bishop Stough Scholarship Fund for Camp McDowell, the Sawyerville Project, and a Celtic cross for Carpenter House in memory of Bishop Stough. The 2008 Corporate Gift was given toward the ECW Pledge to the ACTS2 Campaign.

Your alms collected at Fall Conference are distributed as voted on at the end of the conference.  Alms collected at Women’s Weekend are designated toward the ECW College Scholarship Fund.  The alms collected at the 2007 Fall Conference were designated for supplies for a medical mission trip to Haiti in February.

Your parish ECW may also elect to give to the ECW College Scholarship Fund, the Women at the Well Scholarship, UTO, CPC, Wilmer Hall, or other important organizations or missions.
