What is an Endowment Fund for a Church

Endowment Funds

A congregation’s endowment funds may be a blessing or a burden. Together with church leaders, the Foundation tries to get the most out of endowments and permanent funds.

Congregations can increase their evangelism and ministry through endowments, which also give each Christian the chance to express their own stewardship philosophy. These contributors want the church to manage their donations carefully. They frequently desire to continue using their gifts for years to come in ministry.

A permanent fund policy is the first step in a proper endowment procedure. Your leaders have access to these resources thanks to our development team. Then, we help you come up with a policy that fits the congregation and keeps problems from happening.

We will assist in the promotion of the endowments after your leadership and congregation have adopted the policy.
