Annual Giving 2027

Building Beloved Community

What is a pledge?

A pledge is simply a plan for your giving: your best estimate of what you expect to give to Trinity over the coming year. A pledge is a statement of intention, not a contract. Many people find that deciding on their gift is a meaningful spiritual practice and making a pledge is a deeper way to commit to our community.

Why pledge if I already give in the offering plate?

Trinity’s budget for the coming year is built on what people plan to give, so your pledge helps us confidently fund our worship, music, outreach, formation, and staff, and to dream bigger if we exceed our goal.

What if my circumstances change?

Life changes, and your giving can change with it. If you need to adjust your plan during the year, just let Shannon Tilton know.

Does a small gift make a difference?

Yes! It takes hundreds of us sharing what we can to keep our work going, and every pledge tells us who is partnering with us in this work.

Every dollar pledged directly supports the mission of this cathedral, and we are so grateful for whatever you discern.
