Endowment Fund

Established in 1981, the Westminster Endowment Fund supports ministries outside of the normal operating budget of Westminster. Each endowment fund gift grows over time through prudent investments, and the income from these combined gifts continues to change lives at home and around the world.

Gifts to this fund are held in perpetuity; only the income from these gifts are used for grants.  An Endowment Board of Managers with the approval of Session award Grants from this fund to support new programs at Westminster, local and non-local mission, and international mission. Click here for more information about Endowment Grants.
