Endowment Fund

 
Endowment Team Mission Statement
The mission of the Endowment Fund Team is to encourage, receive, and administer gifts in a manner consistent with the loyalty and devotion to our Lord as expressed by the donors to enhance the outreach of Holy Trinity apart from the general operations of the congregation. The Endowment Fund is a perpetual gift that distributes only the income each year. Income distributions benefit:
    • Evangelism
    • Missions
    • Youth Ministry
    • Local Benevolence
    • Special Needs of the Church
The Endowment Team meets quarterly to review grant requests. Please submit grant requests at least one week prior to the meeting.

Ways the HTLC Endowment Fund Grows
  1. Organic Growth – Fund is conservatively invested in the financial markets and experiences growth with the markets
  2. Contributions from Active Donors – Contributions are accepted from church and community members who are looking to donate funds beyond the church and its traditional operating budget.
  3. Contributions from an Estate Plan – Donors leave money to the church and, either through a designated gift to endowment or through the church’s gift policy, the contribution is made to the Endowment fund.
