Let’s face it. People are rightfully skeptical of giving to organized religion. Typically, more than 90% of what is given to a church goes to overhead costs:

Buildings. Staff. Electric Bills. Toner.

What if we made a BOLD promise to everyone considering generosity?

100% of public donations to Neighborhood Church will go directly to local outreach and benevolence. We’ll even cover the credit card fees.

Since we treat the generosity side and operations side of our ministry differently:

Separate purposes, separate fundraising goals, and separate bank accounts…

We can guarantee that every dollar publicly donated directly helps Rutland County, Vermont be the best place it can be.

And in the name of transparency, this will be independently verified annually.

Imagine a church that gives everything away.

So, how do we pay our operating expenses?

We rely on a small group of generous private donors called

way-makers to fund all of our operating expenses.

We are an incredibly lean organization:

We keep overhead costs as low as possible. We keep it simple.

It isn’t easy, but it’s worth it.

We want to inspire support from passionate donors, enthusiastic fundraisers, long-standing partners and loyal volunteers who believe - like we do -

-That loving your neighbor changes everything.
