PAX is a 501(c)3 organization, and donations to PAX are generally tax-deductible. The community provides ongoing financial assistance directly to families in need and to organizations that provide food assistance, health services, housing, support for survivors of domestic abuse, and scholarships for low-income communities. In addition, we maintain a fund that provides emergency assistance to people in crisis.
We contribute to a large number of organizations representing our values, including social justice activism (Virginia Interfaith Center for Public Policy), support for immigrant families (Preschoolers Plus Parents), racial justice (Legal Aid Justice Center), climate action (Elders Climate Action), church reform (New Ways Ministry, Women’s Ordination Conference), mentorship for young women (Jireh’s Place), opportunities for retirees to work for agencies that address poverty and injustice (Ignatian Volunteer Corps), peace (Pax Christi International), and many others.
There are three ways you can contribute to PAX:
- The ‘donate’ icon above will take you to a secure PayPal link.
- PAX also accepts contributions via Venmo. Use our account name @PAX-Community (the dash between PAX and Community is critical!) and look for a picture of the PAX banner on the Venmo account.
- You may mail a check, payable to PAX and send it to
