The Foundation provides a way to link one's
resources with the church and the church ministry of one's choice. It does
so by assisting with gift arrangements which provide life income through
annuities or charitable trusts. It does so by providing counsel with
giving through wills, trusts, insurance and a whole range of options for the
giving of resources and assets. It does so by providing assistance to
congregations desiring to develop Mission Endowment Funds.
