Annual Contributions from Parishes

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 giveYour contribution provides for Administration; Education, Information and Inspiration; and the Corporate Gift.  Annual gifts are also given to the ECW College Scholarship Fund, 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 2010 Corporate Gift was given toward the ECW Pledge to the ACTS2 Campaign.

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.
