Choose where to direct your gift
You may choose where you would like your gift to be used:
- An unrestricted donation, which allows the diocese the greatest flexibility to provide resources needed to grow and strengthen congregations and encourage and develop leaders for ministry.
- A gift to a specific ministry, organization, or group. Inside the diocese that could include the diocesan disaster relief/recovery fund, diocesan youth programs, Christian education, Latino/Hispanic ministry, campus ministries, support to seminarians, or scholarships to Cursillo or Education for Ministry (EfM). Outside the diocese that might be ministries such as the United Thank Offering (UTO), Episcopal Relief and Development (ERD).
Honoring or remembering others with your gift
You may also designate someone you would like to honor or remember with your gift. The diocese can send a letter to notify the person you wish to honor or a loved one of the person you wish to remember if you provide their name(s) and address(es).
And thank you. Your participation helps ensure that our uniquely Episcopalian expression of Christian faith will remain accessible to all our neighbors in the 24 counties of north central Texas.
