Where do your gifts go? Presbyterian Church in Canada explains.

Every year it is a blessing to witness the generosity and faithfulness of Presbyterians across Canada as they support the work of The Presbyterian Church in Canada.
Despite the uncertainty and chaos of 2020, congregations, individuals, foundations, estates, the Women’s Missionary Society and Atlantic Mission Society generously gave over $9 million to the mission and ministry we do together.
-
$5.63 million was given to Presbyterians Sharing to support ministry in Canada and around the world;
-
$2.17 million was given to Presbyterian World Service & Development for international development and relief programs;
-
$391,000 was given for other special projects: Indigenous, international, Canadian, justice, the museum and more;
-
$810,000 given in bequests to The Presbyterian Church in Canada and $1.39 million added to PWS&D’s Loaves and Fishes Fund are helping support mission and ministry into the future.
These gifts are making a difference as we work together to put our faith into action. Together we are equipping congregations, starting new faith communities, supporting international partners, empowering youth, encouraging new ministers, equipping theological students, supporting Indigenous ministries, responding to emergencies, breaking cycles of poverty, pursuing justice—and so much more.
Thank you for your generous gifts!
