Types of Gifts and Donations
Checks may be mailed to:
Holy Trinity Episcopal Church
100 Church Drive
Auburn, AL 36830
General Donations
General financial gifts are the most common type of gift, as they are not earmarked for a specific purpose but rather go to support the church’s general budget, which maintains our programs and expands our ministries. All “General” gifts are automatically recorded and added to your giving record and count toward your annual pledged amount. When you use the “Give Online” button at the top of the page, donations will default to “General Donations,” unless otherwise indicated.
Annual Fund
Each October, Holy Trinity offers parishioners the opportunity to make an annual pledge to the church for the upcoming calendar year. For budgeting purposes, we ask that parishioners return pledge cards by the Sunday following All Saints Day (Nov. 1). However, pledge cards are always accepted, regardless of the time of year.
Individuals and families are encouraged to prayerfully consider their pledges, as we continue to worship God and serve others in this place. Pledges of any amount are welcome and appreciated, and there are a number of ways to pay them.
If you would like to make an annual pledge, you may pick up a pledge card in the church office or click the button below.
When you use the “Give Online” button at the top of the page, gifts are automatically recorded and added to your giving record and count toward your annual pledged amount.
Memorial Gifts
If you would like to make a gift in memory of, or in honor of, someone or something important to you, please send the name and information about whom you are giving a memorial along with your check. If you Give Online, please contact Tracy Handler to ensure that the proper attribution will be attached to your gift.
Special Donations and Collections
In addition to regular giving, Holy Trinity offers a number of opportunities throughout the year to give to special projects. Examples include:
Donations to support our growing Catechesis of the Good Shepherd formation program
Special collections for Christmas and Easter flowers
Special collections for Christmas and Easter music
Donations benefiting our partnership with Kings Mobile Estates, Namungo Village, Uganda, and other outreach endeavors
If you would like to support a special project, please note which project you are supporting in the “Memo” line of your check. If you Give Online, please contact Tracy Handler to ensure your donation is attributed and allocated to the appropriate fund.

Financial gifts to support our physical spaces can be sent by mail or easily made online.
