Our Endowment Funds
Your gift to the Westminster Church Foundation will support the church, its facilities, its ministries, and the communities we serve in perpetuity.
Up to 5% of the funds will be distributed to the church annually while preserving and growing the principal.
Good Steward Fund
The Good Steward Fund is our largest fund and the cornerstone of the WPC Foundation. Through its annual grants to the WPC session, the Good Steward Fund directly addresses the routine and unexpected needs of the church. Every dollar invested in this fund directly affects our congregation and our community programs.
The G. Raymond Campbell Fund
Investment income from the G. Raymond Campbell Fund is evenly split. Half supports the Deacons in their assistance to the needy; the other half supports church members who are studying for the ministry.
Mission Fund
The Mission Fund ensures the funding of our church’s mission activities; these include the Urban Mission, Infant Crisis Services, Dwight Mission, Habitat for Humanity, Special Program for Arts and Reading for Kids (SPARK), Mobile Meals, and others.
Youth Ministry Fund
The Youth Ministry Fund was established in 2010. It specifically supports the hiring of youth ministry summer interns and scholarships for youth mission trips.
Education Fund
The Education Fund was established to support a multitude of educational activities at WPC. These include the adult education programs and other aspects of Christian education at our church.
Carillon Fund
The Carillon Fund provides support for the music ministry and upkeep of our unique 63-year-old carillon.
Ethelyn Maier Music Scholarship Fund
The Ethelyn Maier Music Scholarship Fund was transferred to the WPC Foundation by Central Presbyterian Church in 2021. This fund provides academic scholarships for one or more promising music students who share their time and talent with the WPC congregation.
The SPARK Fund
The Special Program Art Reading for Kids (SPARK) Fund is the WPC Foundation's newest fund. It was created in November 2022 to establish a future program to provide support in art and reading for children who are in the church, surrounding neighborhoods, and nearby elementary schools.
