Endowment Funds are a very important part of any organization, but particularly for our church. Without Endowment it would be very difficult to provide monies for the many needs that arise in the church, such as unexpected emergencies. With Endowment, the church can meet such obligations and continue its ministry in Christ.
A few areas that the Endowment has provided funds for include:
* remodeling both parsonages * replacing the windows in the nursery school * emergency organ repairs * paving the parking lot * obtaining new Junior choir robes * sponsoring the “Find Us Faithful” Dinner
Gifts to Endowment are special gifts to the church, for they are gifts for eternity. The principal is never touched. Only income derived from gifts is used to fund requests from the Endowment. So a gift to Endowment today will help the church this year and for the years to come.
All gifts are welcome at any time no matter how large, nor how small. For all gifts to the Endowment will help our church continue its ministries and allow you to be a part of the Endowment Fund. Consider the idea of a bequest to the church. When you plan your estate, ask your lawyer to insert a provision that will leave an endowment bequest to the church. Consider transferring stock to Endowment. This will help the church and alleviate the burden of computing capital gains at tax time, particularly for a Dividend ReInvestment Plan (DRIP).
