Holy Cross’ Endowment Fund
The endowment fund is an expression of thanksgiving and stewardship that seeks to be an enduring witness of God’s love in our community and beyond.
Through organizations like Ark, Athens Community Counsel on Aging, Athens Wellness Clinic, Family Promise, Northeast Georgia Food Bank, Mission Six, and Habitat for Humanity our church has physically and financially supported a wide range of local community needs.
The fund will allow us to replace existing funding sources before they are exhausted and to expand our ability to help those in our community and beyond.
A three-phase approach has been implemented:
The fund has is currently in the growth phase where all the annual growth is retained. The goal during this phase is rapid growth so the fund help when it is later needed.
Due to contributions, we expect we will move to the transition phase in 2025 where 25% of the annual growth is available.
When the endowment can produce about $40k in yearly income we will move to the support phase where all, or nearly all, of the annual income will support church’s mission. During the support phase the endowment will only continue to grow if people continue to contribute to it.
