FCCPA Income and Budget Facts 

Our 2023-24 budget calls for $1,390,000 in expenses.  We need to raise $893,000 (64% of income) in pledges, an increase of $43,000 or 5% over last year's budgeted pledges.  The remainder of our operating budget comes through other revenue sources.

As you can see on the Income Trend chart below, the proposed 2023-24 budget shows that $893,000 of our income comes from pledges (blue bar).

The primary support for the Church comes from you. 

During the stewardship period, we pledge financial support for the following fiscal year – July 1st through June 30th.

​​
Costs of our programs and staff continue to rise each year, and we are requesting you increase your pledge by 5% or more if you are able.

As the 2022-23 pledge pyramid shows, last year, as in the past, we had the fortune to be supported by a very few families (11%) who pledged 47% of the budget. We also had broad support from the congregation as a whole, receiving 186 pledges for the year 2022-23 for a total of $861,000; the average pledge amount was about $4,600. 

​Please take a moment to reflect on our calling, on the blessings that we receive, and on what each of us can do to support our church community.
​​Please Pledge Today!
​

Thank you for supporting the First Congregational Church of Palo Alto with your time, talents, and treasures!
