Ways to Give

– Annual Stewardship

The Annual Stewardship appeal is a time when congregants and friends pledge their support for the Charlemont Federated Church and the church’s Missions & Outreach efforts. The results of this yearly campaign allows the church to understand how to budget for priorities and evaluate readiness for new initiatives.

One aspect of our church’s financial system that is different from other congregations is that the funds pledged for Mission and Outreach use are separate from the church’s general fund. Therefore, to help our church with these outreach efforts a separate pledge to Mission and Outreach is needed.

How to pledge:

  • Review the Stewardship Appeal letter to learn more about the work
  • Download a pledge form
  • Make out your check to Charlemont Federated Church, be sure to include a note in the memo line about any portion designated for Missions & Outreach (or M&O).
  • Drop the form with your check in the church office or mail your pledge to Charlemont Federated Church, PO Box 248, Charlemont, MA 01339.

– Legacy Giving

Consider leaving the Charlemont Federated Church a bequest in your will or naming the church as a beneficiary of a trust or retirement plan.

– Donate by Check

Donating to the Charlemont Federated Church or any of its initiatives can be done by sending a check by mail or dropping a check in the collection plate. Gifts designated for Good Neighbors, the Charlemont Forum, CFC Missions & Outreach, gifts in memory of a loved one, or any specific effort should include a note in the memo line to indicate the recipient.

  • Make out your check to Charlemont Federated Church, be sure to include a note in the memo line about any designated gift portion.
