Endowment and Planned Giving Ministry Committee 2021 |
|
The Committee’s responsibilities include:
- Receive and administer all gifts and bequests made to the Church; invest all funds of the Church in conformity with laws of the Colorado and the rules of the United Methodist Church;
- Emphasize the need for adults of all ages to have a will and an estate plan; and to provide information on the preparation of these to the members of the congregation;
- Stress the opportunities for church members and constituents to make provisions for giving through United Methodist churches, institutions, agencies, and causes by means of wills, annuities, trusts, life insurance, memorials, and various types of property; and
- Arrange for the dissemination of information that will be helpful in retirement planning.
- To operate in accordance of the Endowment Charter document of the Heart of Longmont. As required, the Endowment committee will present recommended changes of the Charter to the Heart of Longmont for ratification.
2021 Objectives
Major activities continue to focus on our annual review of the investment allocations and strategies for our various funds, and planning activities designed to grow our Endowment Funds, specifically those that support our scholarship program.
In 2020, we set a goal to double the value of our General Scholarship Endowment Fund over a two-year period (value at January 1, 2020 was $147,090).
Our scholarship program has been extremely successful over the years, and due to ‘over the top giving’ by members, the establishment of the Roger and Gloria Hinz Scholarship Endowment, and increases in our investments, we have been able to increase our annual scholarship values to help worthy youth members in their pursuit of an education and their career. For example, for the 2020-21 academic year, we provided $10,000 in scholarships to 8 worthy recipients from the Hinz’s endowment and our General Scholarship Endowment.
However, we recognize that the cost of a post-secondary education continues to increase. To enable us to keep pace with the cost of college, and to enhance our scholarships, growing our Endowment is imperative…hence this is our #1 priority.
There are many ways to support this program:
- Make an additional gift to the current year’s program
- Establishment an endowment directly with the Methodists Helping Methodists Foundation
- Tithe a portion of your estate to our Scholarship Endowment fund
- Make a contribution to our Scholarship Endowment fund
We are also looking for people to help us implement new programs designed to build our endowments; if you have a passion for this area of ministry, we would love your help.
If you would like more information on how to support the scholarship program, or wish to volunteer your services, please contact Paul Johnston (Chair) or Rod Edmonds (Secretary).
So, where do we stand on our goal through March 31, 2021…our Scholarship Endowment fund balance is $200,888; an increase of $53,798 or 36% of our goal.
Thanks to everyone who has made this program such a success.

UMW Holiday Fair 2021 Cancelled |
|
It is with sadness and trepidation that UMW is cancelling Holiday Fair once again this year. We usually contact our vendors in May and with the 4th surge of COVID and not knowing the future, we decided to cancel the festivities. Lots of different money making projects are in the works though and you can help by collecting those "Treasure Trove" items and garage sale items and donating them to the church. Watch for more opportunities to assist the UMW in continuing their Mission work here and abroad as well. Thank you again for all your support of the United Methodist Women of this church. |
