Building Pohick Church:

Endowments For Today and For Tomorrow

Stewardship depends upon personal choice. Sometimes the spirit moves people while sipping coffee by the Wishing Well. Sometimes choices are more deliberate. While considering unique approaches to stewardship, one may want to include an endowment for Pohick Church through the General Endowment Fund.

The General Endowment Fund of Pohick Church has been established as a source of funds to help accomplish the long-term plans of the Church. Returns on contributions, invested prudently with a view towards preserving and growing capital, will be used to provide regular and ongoing income for new and improved programs, outreach, and physical expansion.

There are a number of endowment options available. Wills and revocable living trusts provide simple-to-use vehicles for charitable bequests. In consultation with a financial advisor, the income tax charitable deduction associated with a stock or mutual fund gift may be appealing. Rather than transfering a security outright, an option is to donate the security, but retain the income it provides with a charitable remainder trust. On the other hand, a charitable lead trust can be donated income from a property to Pohick for a period of time, while ensuring the property will ultimately be returned to the family. One can elect to give real estate to the Church, while retaining use of the property while still living. By naming Pohick as the charitable beneficiary of a life insurance policy, all or part of policy proceeds no longer needed for its original purpose can be contributed to a charitable contribution. No matter the option, financial advice will be provided along the way.

Interested? Pick up a copy of the “Leaving a Legacy for Tomorrow” pamphlet in the back of the church. Members of the General Endowment Fund Board of Trustees: Greg Wise, Debbie Halla, David Lehner or Doug Smith can help answer any questions. Endowments to Pohick Church will build a better Pohick today and build a better Pohick for tomorrow.
