Redeemer Endowment Fund
Be a part of Redeemer's future. By definition, an endowment is a financial asset donation made to a non-profit group or institution in the form of investment funds or other property that has a stated purpose at the bequest of the donor. Most endowments, including Redeemer's Endowment Fund, are designed to keep the principle amount intact while using the investment income from dividends for charitable efforts.
Mission
The mission and purpose of the Redeemer Endowment Fund is living out the Word and healing ministry of Jesus by calling people to live in community with God and each other, with a grateful heart and an understanding of the importance of a legacy of giving.
How it works
The Redeemer Endowment Fund provides a structure for people who have the ability and desire to benefit the mission of Redeemer through charitable giving.*
Benefits
The Redeemer Endowment Fund provides a perpetual source of income in alignment with my core values. Choices for gift designation include:
- General gifts to support the overall mission of the endowment
- Missions including, local, regional, national and global projects
- Education programs for youth and adults
- Worship
- Capital projects including renovations, repairs and the building of new facilities
- Congregational life addressing the multi-generational needs of our members
How you can help

*The Redeemer Endowment Fund is not a vehicle for regular giving and tithing. Before making a gift to the Endowment, you are encouraged to remember that your regular giving is necessary for Redeemer to operate fiscally strong.
