Saint Dunstan's Foundation: Nancy Green, Presidemt

The Foundation obtains and professionally manages cash and non-cash gifts to benefit St. Dunstan’s outreach activities in this community and beyond. Professionally managed by an independent Board of Directors, this permanent endowment uses income only to support outreach activities for our brothers and sisters in need. Monies are dispersed to worthy causes recommended by the Vestry and parishioners

 

The St. Dunstan’s Foundation was established in 2000 as a means of accumulating and growing a long term asset the income from which could be used for our outreach programs, independently of the Church’s operating budget.  Since its inception, trust assets have grown to $135,000 thanks to the generosity of contributing parishioners whose names can be found on the permanent name plaque which hangs on the west wall of Brock Hall.   

The society now has a total of 52 members.  Last year, we were able to contribute $5,791 of our investment returns to 6 different programs.

As they say in the ad world, becoming a member has never been easier.  Current cash or securities contributions are very helpful as they help us earn distributable income right away.  Giving life insurance policies is another option as they can be readily converted to cash.  Alternatively, making provision in one’s will for a gift helps assure our long term viability and growth in the asset base.

If you are not already a member, we hope you will consider becoming one.  There is no minimum gift size.  Whatever you can contribute will be very much appreciated.
