Endowments

The Georgia United Methodist Foundation manages endowments to help secure the financial future of the Church. An endowment is a fund that can be invested to establish a permanent source of income to support programs and ministries such as missions, scholarships, building maintenance and other needs.

We can assist with the promotion and establishment of a Permanent Endowment Fund by:

  • Providing leadership in planting the seed for a planned giving program through presentations in the church and through consultation with church leaders.
  • Providing step-by-step processes and model resolutions that can be used in establishing a Permanent Endowment Fund, as well as assistance in the creation and organization of a Permanent Endowment Fund Committee.
  • Providing confidential counseling to potential donors to help them clarify their charitable gift giving goals.
  • Providing resources and materials for an effective ongoing planned giving program.
  • Providing professional funds management and investment services for the Permanent Endowment Fund assets.

Testimony

"The people who started our agency had the foresight to put 25 percent of the annual Homeless Offering into a permanent endowment with the Foundation until it crossed the $1 million threshold. This investment strategy is allowing us to do ministry in ways we never dreamed possible." - North Georgia United Methodist Housing and Homeless Council
