Highland’s Endowment FundEstablished in 1999 as a means for church members to provide permanent, financial gifts to help support future church ministries. The principal of these gifts is held in perpetuity while the investment income is used to support Highland’s mission and outreach.The endowment fund strengthens Highland by empowering outreach. Highland’s endowment fund, invested to grow over time, is currently managed by the Virginia United Methodist Foundation. Gifts make a lasting impact at home and beyond. An endowment gift may be made at any time, and is often made in honor, or memory, of an individual, or as part of an estate plan.
Permanent Endowment CommitteeHighland's PEC is charged with managing funds gifted and/or donated to Highland. As previously stated, our endowment gifts are invested through the Virginia United Methodist Foundation. Income gained by our investment is used to support specific mission and outreach callings. It is important to note, the endowment principal we receive is not spent. It is held in perpetuity to ensure the endowment remains a viable, living, source of income to accomplish now, and in the future, the intent of those who give.Current members of the Committee include: Donald Colbert, Mike Coleman, Sandra Coleman, Dick Covington, Neil Knarr, Lisa Walker, and Jen Webb. Your thoughtful deliberation to give to this fund is sincerely appreciated, and we thank you for your prayerful consideration to this request. Please contact any one of the Endowment Committee members for assistance and guidance concerning your charitable gift to our church.
