Endowment
Westminster Presbyterian Church has an established endowment
fund within the PCUSA Foundation. The Foundation is
committed to working with donors and clients according to
their needs and circumstances in order to help
build,
grow, preserve and provide financial resources in ways that
maximize impact on their chosen mission or ministry. The
donors of the funds specify the end use of the income from
these funds. The WPC Endowment Committee, consisting of
elected members of the Congregation, Elders and Deacons, is
responsible for encouraging the congregation to contribute
to the Endowment Fund and for the management the investment
and distribution of endowment fund income. In general, the
fund income is not used for the annual operating budget of
WPC. The current WPC endowment funds are:
-
General Endowment Fund
-
Toso Sanctuary Fund
-
CEM Youth Fund
-
Byert Flower Fund
-
Peacemaking Fund
-
Seminary Fund
Each fund name indicates how the income is primarily used
and is consistent with enhancing the mission outreach of
Westminster Presbyterian Church. The committee communicates
with the congregation on a quarterly basis regarding the
nature and importance of the Endowment Fund. It also
conducts an annual workshop on estate planning by hosting a
representative from the PCUSA Foundation.
If you have any questions regarding these funds or would
like to make a contribution to the funds, please contact
John Page, Chairman at the church office.
