The Village Presbyterian Church Endowment Trust is a non-profit, charitable foundation that enriches the church’s mission and ministries, funds new initiatives and leaves a legacy for future generations. It raises and manages funds to provide resources for the future and also supplements the Church’s annual budget. The Endowment Trust has been established by the Session and is managed by a separate board of directors.
The Endowment Trust has a general endowment fund and 10 Legacy Funds. The board of the Endowment Trust invests these funds and carefully oversees the investment management so that your charitable gift continues to grow over time and provide for extraordinary mission today, tomorrow and always. |
