$38.34 Per Capita 2025 — What It is and Why It Matters

Per Capita funds ($38.34 for each member) enable our Presbytery to support the work of local congregations, along with the larger PCUSA. This support includes churches in transitions, searching for a new pastor, identifying interim and supply pastors, shared mission projects, among others.

HPPC is committed to paying the Per Capita apportionment,and it will come from our General Budget if members do not choose to contribute their fair share. As our church seeks to recover from hurricane damage and perform necessary repairs as well as carry out our mission, your generosity will help us do that.

You may contribute by noting Per Capita on your check,online Donations on the website, or through Church Center (scroll down on the online options).

The Session thanks you for supporting the ministry of our church!

“Thank you”—from the Haiti Nursing Foundation

Dear Hyde Park Presbyterian Church,

Thank you so much for all of your support over the years for HNF. Your donations and prayers do make a huge difference. I have had the privilege of spending time in Haiti on a number of occasions: the people are amazing! FSIL is a very special place and the education they provide is excellent. Please know that you are appreciated for all the good work you do.

Fondly,

Nancy Rondel, Board Member
