Services & Grants

The stated purpose of the Foundation is to educate, encourage and enable individuals to carry out Christian giving.  A gift to the Foundation never stops giving.  Gifts are endowed (invested) and the earnings from those investments will serve people and ministries for generations to come.

Educating
Seminars on family financial planning are conducted to make attendees aware of how to donate to the Foundation for the benefit of the donor and the long term interests of the FUMC Santa Rosa.  Look to the events page to see the title and date of the next seminars. 

Encouraging
Prospective donors are encouraged to contact a director or pastor regarding donating to the Foundation.  The value of giving and the benefits of Foundation grants are frequently publicized on this site or in the church newsletter or bulletin.  Timely End of Life planning is both vital and invaluable to family members.

Enabling
Resources are available to assist individuals in specific types of planning that may meet the interests and desires of the donor.  The directors can help you find professional help, acquaint you with the Foundation endowed funds, or assist you  to assure your dreams can help others. 

The Foundation awards grant money according to our grant policy.  Recent grants may be found on this site in addition to the funds and their purposes.  Request forms are available on this site or in the church office.  Foundation directors will assist you as requested.  Grants are awarded based on a vote by the Board of Directors.
