There are four funds available for donations:

Also available is The St. George Anglican Church Wakefield Endowment Fund. It was officially established in March of 2013 and is designed to support the Church’s mission today and forever. Donations can be made by contacting the Selkirk & District Community Foundation (phone: 204-785-9755, email: selkirkfoundation@shaw.ca), or ask church member Bev Clegg for more details. Together the St. George Anglican Church Wakefield and Selkirk & District Community Foundation are “Here for Good”. Please consider donations for the following events; in memory of a loved one, Birthday or Anniversary gifts for the person who has everything, or as a bequest / gift in your will. We need to prepare today for the future tomorrow.
As our church is aging, we also have tremendous upkeep and are continuing to provide renovations to ensure an accessible church for all. Thank you for your interest in keeping the doors open to our beautiful and blessed church.
A tax receipt for all donations over $20.00 will be issued at the end of the year.
