Gilead is a start-up. We run a shoestring operation, paying rent and salaries, hosting meals, buying coffee or beer for newcomers, covering the sexy stuff like our software subscriptions and our awesome accountant. If you are glad Gilead exists (for you or for someone else!), you can help make it happen:

Make a one-time gift or set up recurring giving here. You can also give by PayPal. And if you're old school, you can send checks made out to "Gilead" to PO Box 13222, Chicago, IL 60613-222. Of course: all that is tax-deductible.

If you can give money, we will use it to buy coffee for strangers, to rent space, to throw parties, to buy tacos, to pay musicians, to write beautiful liturgy, and make sure we have health insurance. With your gifts, plus generous grants from our denominations, fundraisers, and storytelling work, we’re piecing it together! We hope to be a self-sustaining community in five years, but until then we need lots of donations, large and small.

If you have another amazing talent or skill that you’re willing to use to help bring Gilead into the world, we’d love to talk to you about it. Shoot us an email here.   We’ve been called to create an inclusive community of Christian faith at the far north end of Chicago. We need you as  co-creators!
