Giving through the Parish Giving Scheme
What is the Parish Giving Scheme?
The Parish Giving Scheme (PGS) is an established service for managing One-off and Direct Debit giving, designed to support churches to fund their mission and ministry.
The service is freely available to all parishes in the Diocese of Portsmouth, their churches and donors. Uptake is growing every year, with the majority of dioceses in the Church of England – and many of their parishes – now members of PGS and experiencing the benefits. You can use the link below to discover whether your church is already in the scheme.
PGS enables you to give to your chosen church monthly, quarterly or annually by Direct Debit. You can set up your Direct Debit online, fill in a gift form at church (or click the download link above), or call the team and they will talk you through it, step by step. You can also make a one-off gift to your church online at any time.
PGS make it safe and easy for you to give and safe and easy for your church to receive. They process gifts and Gift Aid on your church’s behalf, so every pound you give can be put to Christian service in your community. All that you give via PGS goes straight to your church.
A unique feature of PGS is the option for givers to increase their gift annually in line with inflation. While this is a voluntary decision, it is one that could potentially have a huge impact on the life and future of your church. Please consider ticking the box.
PGS makes it possible for givers to:
- Give one-off amounts by Credit/Debit cards and Apple/Google pay wallets
- Give monthly, quarterly or annually by Direct Debit
- Sign up to inflation-linked giving annually
- Enhance their gift to your church by having Gift Aid at 25% added to their giving
- Give securely and donate anonymously, if preferred
