Conference-related institutions. The Foundation has helped
many individuals and families make
charitable contributions to the work of our Church.
Where there is Christian commitment and charitable intent, the
Foundation can be a significant
resource in uncovering methods that will allow you to give in
special ways.
Those who utilize the services of the Foundation are committed
to the mission of our Church and
wish to participate in its future by investing some of their
assets in vitally important ministries. Many
of them have helped in very significant ways through their
giving and at the same time have benefited
their families and reduced taxes.
The United Methodist Foundation is at your service and is your
strong ally as you contemplate the
impact you will make and the influence you will have through
your Christian stewardship and giving.
