Churches

Many Foundation services are designed for the local church. 

We offer investment management services for local church-owned funds. More than 275 local churches and more than 50 church-related organizations use our investment management services.

We consult with church groups to develop and promote endowment funds and planned giving programs.  We assist in developing policies for accepting gifts and making prudent investment decisions.  We make presentations, provide workshops and preach on planned giving topics and lifelong stewardship. We have many additional resources that can assist local churches in their stewardship ministry.

In addition,  the Foundation also offers a grants program. Since 1999, we have distributed almost$700,000 to almost 200 ministries across northern Illinois
