Growing an Endowment Fund

Whether your church has a permanent endowment fund managed and controlled by your church leaders, or whether your endowment is established through the Texas Methodist Foundation, consider these Key Elements of a Successful Church Endowment:

  1. Its purpose aligns with the church’s mission and vision.

  2. Encourages leaders and members to give.

  3. Educates members about ways to give.

  4. Responds attentively to those wanting to give.

  5. Expresses appreciation to those who give. 

  6. Celebrates the Endowment Fund’s work in the life of the church.
