A huge THANK YOU to all who have already submitted their pledge for 2025. We very much appreciate your leadership in this regard!

As we all consider our gifts and what a financial pledge to the Cathedral might look like, I thought it helpful to provide an update on 2024 donations.

As shown on the chart above, donations were below budget for the first two quarters of the year (79% and 83% of budget respectively). While donations reached 99% of the budget for the summer quarter, as shown in the chart, that quarter has the lowest budget of the year (183k).

However, I am hopeful that the summer momentum will continue through the fall quarter when our budget is 50% higher than the average of the first three quarters (yikes).

And, for those who have yet to submit their pledge for 2025, it would be wonderful if you did so by the end of November. While your pledge would be gratefully received at any time, providing it by the end of the month is very helpful to the 2025 budgeting process.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out to me or another member of the stewardship committee.

 

Thank you,

Jane Osler
