The John Wesley Society Endowment Fund was created to honor those who have remembered Peachtree Road United Methodist Church in their estate plans, and to help others do the same. Because of the endeavors of our founding members, Peachtree Road recently endowed three generous gifts that would otherwise not have been possible.
An endowment is a gift whose earnings are used to support the mission of the organization. The principal of the gift is invested but never used. The Endowment Fund is strengthened through return on existing investments and through members who designate Peachtree Road as a beneficiary. Our endowments gifts are used for Outreach and Capital Needs. The earnings from the fund are never used to support the general operating budget and are not part of annual stewardship. The gifts are managed by an Endowment Board comprised of Peachtree Road members. Serving ex officio are our Senior Minister, Administrative Board Chair and our Finance Chair. The Endowment Board meets quarterly to review the investments held by the fund and to consider funding requests.
There are many ways of making a gift when planning financially. When making decisions such as these, we strongly encourage you to consult your financial planner. You may also contact a member of the John Wesley Society Committee who can recommend a qualified professional to discuss your options. The following is a list of the most familiar types of planned giving.
Through A Bequest This is a provision in your will usually for a stated amount or for a percentage.
Through Property You may bequeath property including land, residences, even commercial use.
Through An Insurance Policy You may name the church as the beneficiary of a life insurance policy, or gift a policy to the church.
Through Securities This most common form of non cash charitable gifts includes shares and bonds Through a Charitable Remainder Trust This provides an annual income for the donor, with the remainder specified for charity.
