Endowment Fund

FIRST PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH ENDOWMENT FUND – PORTAGE LA PRAIRIE, MANITOBA

 In Remembrance
To the memory of all
Who have graced our homes
And enriched our hearts;
Those who in days past laid
The Foundation upon which we build.

At its Annual Meeting on February 3, 1990, the congregation established the First Presbyterian Church Endowment Fund.

The purpose of the Endowment Fund is to consolidate funds received in bequests for administrative purposes, to receive future donations, and to act as a Memorial Fund for the congregation.

We have a Book of Remembrance in which to enter the name of a deceased member, adherent, relative, or friend in whose name a contribution to the fund has been made.  The name of the contributor will also be entered in the book.

We invite you to help the work of the Endowment Fund.

Sources of Funds:

  • Memorial donations in memory of deceased relatives or friends.
  • Memorial donations by fraternal, social or employee groups.
  • A planned gift to the Endowment Fund stipulated in your Will becomes a continuing tribute to you.
  • Your gift can be made in the form of cash, securities, trusts, real estate, life insurance, or charitable annuity.

Contributions are deductible for income tax purposes.  An official receipt will be issued.

If you need assistance, please phone the church office at 204-857-4351, and a member of the              Endowment Committee will attempt to answer all questions.

Every gift is appreciated and given special attention.
