Clergy Loan Program for appointed UMC clergy.

Develop an endowment or grow your current endowments.
Endowments are a self-sustaining source of annual income. When your church chooses to set up an endowment fund, it is making a commitment to its members to act as a good steward of the donated assets. And when donors give to the endowment fund, they are creating a legacy of stewardship that can last for years to come. To learn more about endowments and how they work, click here.

Learn how planned gifts allow individuals to secure a charitable legacy.
Through planned giving (also known as legacy giving), donors can make charitable contributions as part of their financial or estate plans, often given to nonprofits after they pass away. By cultivating support now and providing a clear path, churches and nonprofit organizations can encourage donors to include them in their wills. We work with individual donors to create thoughtful gifts that align with their personal goals, such as reducing tax liability, ensuring lifetime income, and preserving assets for heirs.
