First, you will need to establish interest by getting your pastor and church leadership involved. Your church’s trustees may decide to govern the endowment fund or they can set up a Permanent Endowment Committee (PEC), depending on the specific needs of your congregation. The Foundation will then work with your leadership to develop a process in line with our policies and by-laws and in accordance with the laws of the state of Georgia.

At this stage, contact the Foundation to discuss the proper course of action for your church and what next steps you should follow.
