ABOUT THE FOUNDATION

The Woodlands Methodist Church Foundation was established in 2000 as a pillar of support to our ministry and mission of reaching people for Jesus, discipling them in faith, and helping those in need.

The Foundation is more than just a financial asset; it is a testament to our enduring dedication to faith, service and compassion. Established as a permanent fund, the principal amount of the endowment is preserved while the earnings generated from investments are distributed as scholarships and grants to support the mission of The Woodlands Methodist Church. This is distinct from the day-to-day operations budget and regular giving. The Foundation plays a pivotal role in funding new initiatives, missions, church multiplication, curriculum resources and education scholarships. Today’s gifts make an impact tomorrow and are invested forever for generations to come.

OTHER WAYS TO GIVE

GIFTS OF CASH/CHECKS

Simplicity and ease of giving make cash/check contributions the most popular type of giving.

GIFTS OF SECURITIES

Gifts of long-term securities generally result in several federal tax benefits. Please check with your tax advisor for more details.

GIFTS OF PROPERTY

Real property may also be given to the Foundation provided it meets certain criteria.

A PERSONAL WILL OR ESTATE PLANNING

In your will you may decide to bequeath a percentage of your estate, a specific amount or the remainders after bequests to other beneficiaries are made. If you choose to make a gift to the Foundation in this way, please note that the legal name to include in a will or other legal document is “The Woodlands Methodist Church Foundation.” A bequest will be recorded as a gift in the year that the will is probated and the grant delivered to the Foundation.

When a Christian writes a will, it should be more than a catalog of possessions, but rather a declaration of faith in the cause you believe in — a provision for that which you love. No person can tell you the will of God regarding the final disposition of your property. Only by prayerfully seeking God’s leadership can you know what He wants you to do.

CURRENT AREAS OF SUPPORT

The Foundation currently focuses on five major areas of investment that are in support of TWMC’s mission: New Initiatives, Missions, Church Multiplication, Christian Education and Resources, and Scholarships. Giving to the enduring ministry of The Woodlands Methodist Church Foundation has had a profound impact on many lives. Learn more below.

FAQ

Founded in September 2000, The Woodlands United Methodist Church Foundation, Inc. was established to provide for the future of this congregation’s mission to bring Christ and His love to our local and global community.

The decision to give to the Foundation is a spiritual commitment of loyalty and love. It is a way to continue giving and supporting The Woodlands Methodist Church now and into the future.

“For the LORD is good and his love endures forever; his faithfulness continues through all generations.” — Psalm 100:5

Most large churches, such as The Woodlands Methodist Church, have established foundations or endowment funds for the purpose of expanding and securing the future ministries of the church. The Foundation provides an opportunity for the current members to build for the future.

The Foundation fund is a permanent fund which is invested to provide income that can be used to further the ministry of the church. The permanent fund also provides a degree of security in the event of unforeseen financial needs. Most of the goals for the Foundation are long-term.

The mission of The Woodlands Methodist Church Foundation is to expand the ministry outreach of the church and safeguard its future through charitable gifts that provide long-term financial support and a living memorial.

They will be used to expand the ministry of the church for years to come by providing supplemental funds to enhance the church’s programs, mission, operations and facilities.

No, it does not replace other funds. Such funds as the church operating budget and faith promise fund for missions are separate. The Foundation fund is designed to permanently enrich the future life of our church.

The annual budget of our church is all-important. It is the responsibility of the congregation every year to provide for the everyday bills, salaries and programs for the membership.

All gifts or donations to the fund will be treated as confidential business transactions. If you are giving to the Foundation in honor or memory of a loved one, the designated person or family is notified of your thoughtfulness. All gifts to the Foundation (not including the amount) are recognized in our church newsletter. If you wish, your gift will remain anonymous.
