The Social Justice Ministries Endowment Fund
What do you want your legacy of Christian discipleship to be?
The United Methodist Church Foundation and the General Board of Church and Society have united in launching an endowment fund, The Social Justice Ministries Endowment Fund, to ensure that the visionary ministry of the Board and its predecessors over the past 100 years continues for centuries to come.
The Social Justice Ministries Endowment Fund will ensure a future in which a strong and prophetic United Methodist voice for the poor and oppressed will be heard in the corridors of power. This endowment will enable the Board to continue to educate, empower and equip new generations of United Methodists to live out their faith journey as witnesses for justice and to serve as the hands of Christ in transforming the world.
As stewards of the Church's commitment to social holiness, the Social Justice Ministries Endowment Fund will help to ensure that work to halt social ills like gambling, nuclear weapons proliferation, and environmental degradation are not limited by church budget constraints. We must see to it that operational cutbacks never threaten to silence the voice in the wilderness calling humanity toward God’s righteousness for all of God’s creation. It is essential that as new moral and ethical issues arise – ones we cannot yet imagine – that the United Methodist Church have the ability to respond.
Income earned from the fund will be available to the Board to use for any purpose consistent with its ministries to respond to the Christian social concerns of the day. Yes, I want to Give Now to this fund. Find out about the different ways to give through the United Methodist Church Foundation.
