Where the Money Goes

It is our intention to allocate funds to repairs on the building by direct payment of invoices for such repairs, in coordination with the Archdiocese of Seattle.

If the Archdiocese of Seattle declines to restore the church building, Save Tacoma’s Landmark Church intends to refund all donations over $1000 (after processing fees and the above 10%, if applicable).

Note: Prior to November 1, 2019, the first 10% of all donations (after paying processing fees) were forwarded directly to Holy Rosary Parish for the “Holy Rosary Parish General Fund”.

A Major Gift… and a Challenge to Succeed

We have received a $1 million pledge from the Jack and Angela Connelly Family Foundation! The pledge consists of $500,000 and an additional $500,000 in matching pledges.

The Foundation will match all donations given from December 3, 2019 to August 31, 2020, up to $500,000.

Your donations are effectively doubled! More information here.
