Electronic/On-line Giving Opportunities -
The Diocese of Western Massachusetts
We know that in addition to the regular Eucharistic offerings you make at your local parish, from time to time you wish to make offerings to support the mission and ministry of the diocese. We thank God for your generosity. Many of you have asked if the diocese offers an electronic or automated option for giving opportunities. Now we do!
Easy and simple for you, electronic giving allows your contributions to be transferred electronically from your checking or savings account or your credit card directly to the Diocese of Western Massachusetts through a secure site. When making your donation here, you can note if your gift is in thanksgiving for something or in memory of someone, so it may be properly acknowledged if you wish.
Your offerings help us carry on Christ’s ministry of transformation and reconciliation as we work and pray together to develop healthy, mission-focused Christians and congregations who live the fullness of the baptism covenant wherever God places us.

Alleluia Fund: Providing venture capital for new mission work. Join fellow Episcopalians from around to diocese making joyful offerings of thanksgiving that support new mission work in the Diocese and overseas. Alleluia Fund offerings support our new church in Southwick, MA where people who had given up on church are finding a meaningful connection to God, and support new mission work in Liberia. 90% of all Alleluia Fund offerings support our work here at home in Southwick. 10% support our work with our sister and brother Episcopalians in Liberia.
Bement Camp: Transforming lives from the outdoors in. Support the diocesan camp that nurtures, develops and supports people, especially young people, in their Christian faith journey.
The Ark: College ministry centered at UMASS-Amherst. Support the work of nurturing and supporting college students in their Christian faith journey.
Bishop’s Discretionary Fund: Assisting those in need. Your offering to this fund allows the Bishop to respond to those in particular need and to make benevolences to build up the Kingdom of God here on earth.
Southwick Community Episcopal Church: A new church development reaching new people. While 90% of Alleluia Fund offerings support our new church in Southwick. If you designate your gift for Southwick Community Episcopal Church, 100% of your gift will support the work in Southwick, helping people find a new, closer relationship with God that will make a difference in their lives.
These additional giving opportunities allow you to express thanksgiving. They support mission and ministry beyond your local parish. We thank you, not only for your regular weekly Eucharistic offerings that support your local parish but also for your additional thanks-offerings to support the mission and ministry of the larger church!
