The percentage of money available for churches from endowments ranges from 0 to a large percentage for older endowed churches. Again, we do not have statistics for individual churches. I was surprised that more of the money for the church comes from the Foundation than from annual giving. Please explain this – is this a new trend? We give thanks to God for generous Presbyterians who have entrusted the Foundation with their contributions to support the mission of the church. Many individuals and congregations designate their gifts rather than give to unrestricted, annual giving – a trend that is prevalent in American society as a whole. In addition, many congregations choose to keep their gifts close to home and support local mission. This also reflects a trend in our culture.
