Donate to the Clergy Discretionary Funds

Mon, 21 Jul 2025 20:04:05 GMT

Your generosity can make a real difference in someone’s life.

On the last Sunday of the month, all loose plate and undesignated offerings go to the Clergy Discretionary Funds. A Clergy Discretionary Fund—sometimes called a Rector’s or Pastor’s Discretionary Fund—is a special account maintained by many Episcopal parishes to enable clergy to respond pastorally and confidentially to needs within the congregation and the wider community.

Purpose:

The primary purpose of the fund is to provide financial assistance to individuals or families facing emergency situations, such as help with rent, utilities, groceries, medical bills, or other urgent needs. The fund can also be used to support charitable causes or organizations at the discretion of the clergy.
How it works:
The fund is typically supported by designated gifts from parishioners, special offerings (such as on holidays or at weddings/funerals), or memorial donations.
The clergy person (such as the rector or priest-in-charge) administers the fund, using their judgment to distribute assistance where it is most needed.
The use of the fund is confidential, preserving the dignity of those who receive help.
Parishes maintain records in accordance with diocesan guidelines and financial best practices to ensure accountability.

Why it matters:

The Discretionary Fund is a tangible expression of the church’s call to love our neighbors, offering compassion, dignity, and practical help in times of crisis. It allows clergy to respond quickly and pastorally to needs that might otherwise go unmet.

If you feel called to support or learn more about your parish’s Discretionary Fund, you can contribute at any time. Your generosity can make a real difference in someone’s life.
