ENDOWMENT FUNDS are permanent assets of the church, given as estate or planned charitable gifts. They are supervised by the Administration Team via the administration of the Endowment Team to preserve and grow the principal. The income, interest, and capital gains are used by the congregation for the purposes identified by the donors, or in the absence of such identification, by the Leadership Council. The Endowment Team determines each spring how much will be distributed to each ministry area in the following fiscal year.

Our overall Endowment Fund is divided into several categories. Choose the category that best matches your intention.

• MISSIONS
• SCHOLARSHIPS
• DAY SCHOOL OPERATIONS and SCHOLARSHIPS
• PERPETUAL PLEDGE 

Distributions support the General Operating Budget

• CAPITAL

Distributions help pay for major capital repairs and improvements at the request of the Administrative Team.

A great way to donate to the Endowment Fund is through a planned estate or trust gift. Some ways to leave a legacy through planned giving include:

• BEQUEST THROUGH YOUR WILL
• CHARITABLE GIFT ANNUITY OR REMAINDER TRUST
• GIFTS OF STOCK OR PROPERTY
• DONOR ADVISED FUNDS
• IRA ROLL OVER

You don’t have to have extraordinary wealth to make a planned gift. Even a small amount can have a big impact over time.

Some people think they must choose between leaving a gift to their family or to charity. You can do both! Many planned gifts actually save your family money.

It’s easy. A simple designation can bring incredible support to Coronado Community United Methodist Church in years to come.

The Pastor or members of our Endowment Team are ready to help you as you consider a planned gift. Contact the church office to arrange an appointment.
