The Foundation
If your church or agency has funds managed through the Foundation, including endowments and planned gifts, you will find yourself on the map.
We offer professional services to set up, facilitate, and manage planned giving and permanent endowment programs in the church. The goal of the Foundation is to provide financial services that encourage good stewardship of resources and to assist AWF Conference churches, agencies, and church members with the ever growing needs of ministry.
Schedule a workshop or meeting with a staff member on the importance of planned giving and how you can plan for the future of your church. To get started with our Endowment Fund Program, email [email protected].

This is a great way to invest in the future of the church without making a donation.
