Giving to the Eliot Church

The Eliot Church conducts an annual pledge drive to support the church mission and operating budget.

There are three main ways that you can donate to the Eliot Church...

1.  Click on the donate button.  You will be able to make either an ongoing or one-time donation via either credit card or electronic funds transfer from your checking account.  You will be able to designate this as either a pledge or a gift.

2.  Make a pledge to the church by contacting the Assistant Treasurer at atreasurer@theeliotchurch.org.  You can then fill this pledge either by check (on a one-time or ongoing basis) or by cash (you will be given envelopes to deposit in the Sunday collection).

3.  Transfer securities to the church.  In many cases, gifting of appreciated securities may offer favorable tax treatment.  Please contact the Treasurer of the church for details and a sample letter:  treasurer@theeliotchurch.org

Thank you for your support - every donation makes a difference to our Church!

Eliot Church Endowment Fund

The Eliot Church Endowment Fund exists as an entity separate from the Church (managed by a Committee elected at the Church Annual Meeting). The purpose of the Endowment Fund is to assure the long term success of the Church. Surpluses in the Church operating budget may be directed to the Fund. Alternatively, income from the Fund may be distributed to the church. The principal of the Fund is to be used only for special purposes that will contribute to the growth and sustenance of the church (for example, real estate purchases).

Members and friends of the Church may wish to make a current donation to the Eliot Endowment Fund (perhaps appreciated stock) or they may wish to consider a planned gift (providing for the Fund in your will, naming the Fund as a life insurance beneficiary, etc.). Please contact Ben Bailey, Chairman of the Endowment Committee for information.
