| Annual Contributions from parishes to the diocesan ECW
are payable in January.
The more money given results in more good works the Diocesan ECW can
do 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 give. Your contribution
provides for Administration; Education, Information and Inspiration; and
the Corporate Gift. Annual gifts are also given to ECW College Scholarship,
the Women at the Well Scholarship Fund, and the
Church Periodical Club.
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. Please make checks payable to Episcopal Church Women, and mark
‘Proportionate Giving’ in the lower left hand corner, and mail checks to: Episcopal Church Women, Diocese of Alabama,
521 North 20th Street. Birmingham. AL 35203-2611.
The percentage of your contribution provides for the
following: 20% Administration; 40% Education, Information and
Inspiration; and 40% Corporate Gift.
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 2009 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 local, diocesan, national or
international organizations or missions.
