Eliot members and friends are generous in our outreach efforts, giving time, talent, and treasure to individuals and groups in need.
Each month a different organization benefits from our Shared Plate Sunday offering. Each year we are able to give tens of thousands of dollars to local and national organizations to help the homeless, support disaster relief efforts, promote human rights, and more.
And Eliot Chapel itself needs our support. The Chapel’s programs and ministries are almost totally supported by pledges and gifts from members and friends. A pledge is a commitment made at the beginning of a church year, estimating the financial contribution you plan to make to the church over the next year. (Many people consider their pledges in terms of $x per month or per week as a way of connecting their gift with their income.)
Check out our Giving Made Easy brochure for step-by-step instructions to set up your pledge online and many other ways to give.

Text giving is a quick and convenient way for anyone to make a donation to the causes you care about at Eliot Chapel. Here’s how it happens:
Start a new text to 73256.
Enter “Eliot $3 SharedPlate” if you’d like to donate three dollars to our current Shared Plate recipient, for instance.
You’ll get a text reply with a link to the fund you’ve chosen. Click that.
The link takes you to our secure giving portal. Enter your information and click GIVE. It’s that simple!
After you donate, you’ll get a confirmation number and all the details you need to manage your giving.
Please note, you must enter "SharedPlate" (or any other text giving code) as given to reach your preferred option. In this case, "SharedPlate" is one word. You choose the amount to give. We are using the example of $3.00 here because it’s the minimum for text or online giving. Checking the box next to “Contribute an extra $X.xx to help offset processing fees” helps cover the fees Eliot pays to offer this text service. Standard text message rates do apply.
