Supporting St. Paul's
For more than 100 years, St. Paul's Church has enriched the spiritual life of Nantucket and has also reached out to support the needs and the people of the Nantucket community. We are only able to continue these roles with the physical and financial support of the parish members and friends. You can manifest this support in a number of ways - giving Time, giving Talent or giving Treasure.
- If you want to give Time to the church, there are any number of ways to participate, either in our sacramental activities or in our community outreach.
- Equally, your can find an outlet for your Talent in a variety of places that support the church.
- You can give Treasure directly using the form on this page, or by sending a check or donating securities. For longer-term support, we welcome planned giving gifts.
Our 2025 Annual Report provides you with a broad overview of St. Paul's finances. The report summarizes the activities, financial results of 2024 and our budget for 2025.

We believe that we can better spread God's Love if we reach the broadest audience possible. Consequently, we provide our community with support and love that range from the sacramental - worship services - to the practical - feeding the needy and the locked in--to the ministerial -- Father Max and our staff. We can do this only with the support of our Parishioners and our friends. Our 2026 budget projects costs of more than $900,000, virtually all of which must be raised through pledges and gifts to the Church and the income from our fundraising events. In a typical year our events provide only about 15% of our income. Plate offerings provide another 10%. Thus pledges and gifts from Stewardship must raise the balance.
We believe that a combination of our Sacramental offerings and our community involvement makes us worthy or your support, and our giving solutions make it easy to do so. Pledges or gifts can be made in cash or in securities. Planned Giving is also a way to provide long-term support.
Give Securely
Your gift helps us fulfill our mission -- To Make the Love of God More Widely Known -- by serving our parish, our island community and the wider world. You can make a one-time donation or set up an account for repeat contributions (if you set up recurring donations on our old website, please do it again here). All information is kept private and will not be shared with any third party. Thank you for your generosity!
Giving Securities to St. Paul's
Parishioners may choose to give securities as their Treasure. St. Paul's maintains an account at Commonwealth Financial which can take delivery of your securities and place them in St. Paul's account. We sell all securities immediately upon learning they are in our account to use your donation to support our activities. Since securities laws prohibit Commonwealth from giving the name of the donor, it would be helpful if you informed the Finance Office (508-228-0916 Ext16) of the number of shares and the name of the security you are donating.
If you wish to donate securities, please contact Tim Keohan at Commonwealth Financial. Tim can be reached at 781-464-7109. Deliver instructions to Commonwealth can be obtained from the Treasurer.
