Giving

Your gift will allow us to continue offering free, high-quality programming in Hale County. Though a portion of funding comes from the Episcopal Diocese of Alabama, Sawyerville relies heavily on funding and support from other sources. Since no one pays to attend or staff our programs, all of the money needed must be raised. Please reach out to Claire Cotten, the Director of Mission Funding for the Episcopal Diocese of Alabama, if you are interested in giving a donation.

​Gifts made to Sawyerville, a ministry of the Episcopal Diocese of Alabama, are tax-deductible.
