*In January 2026 Parkwood received a generous anonymous donation designated to repay the loans taken out to finance the new wing in 2015-2016. The donation was more than sufficient to pay off the two loans. As such, the Loan Repayment Fund has been removed from the list of funds to which donations can be directed, and the list renumbered accordingly.

**PWS&D = Presbyterian World Service & Development

NOTE: donations under C above are meant to go to the general fund of PWS&D. From time to time the Mission Team makes a Special Appeal for donations for specific PWS&D initiatives. These will appear in category L above.

There are many ways you can donate to the ministry of Parkwood church. You can donate online by e-transfer of credit card/PayPal (through CanadaHelps). You can set up automatic deductions to be taken out of your bank account. You can send us a cheque in the mail. Those who wish to give regularly can get offering envelopes and have their tax receipt issued at the end of the year (one-time donations are receipted by mail soon after the donation is received). Detail on these methods are presented here:

Donations must be given to established funds. If the area of Parkwood's ministry you wish to donate to isn't listed here, please contact us at ac.hcruhcdoowkrap@etanod. If you wish to make a donation to an "outside" ministry that Parkwood has supported in the past (see list here). Unless it's a current Mission Team Special Appeal, please donate directly to the ministry.

You can make a donation in honour of a living person you wish to recognize or in memory of someone who has passed on.

RE-DONATING: there is an expense to donating through CanadaHelps, somewhere between 3.5 and 4 percent of the value of your donation. Your contribution in the offering plate, by PAR, e-transfer or cheque in the mail to Parkwood Presbyterian Church maximizes the value of your donation to us.
