The Cathedral Relies Entirely on Gifts
Washington National Cathedral is operated by the Protestant Episcopal Cathedral Foundation (PECF), which is recognized by the Internal Revenue Service as a not-for-profit, educational 501(c)(3) organization. All gifts to the Cathedral and memberships in the National Cathedral Association are tax-deductible to the extent permitted by law.
The Cathedral was built and is operated solely on the support of private donations. The Cathedral receives no support from the federal government or any national church.
