OUTREACH

St. Andrew’s parishioners give substantial volunteer support throughout
the year:

• Preparing summer lunches for needy children

PARISH / FINANCIAL / PLAN

The parish financial plan includes the annual operating budget and other
important components to ensure a sound financial position.
The plan provides guidance for funding the annual budget and other
important needs:
1. The Annual Budget Giving Campaign
2. Funding allocation to the Capital Fund Reserve Account from the

annual operating budget. This account funds major equipment and
building repairs and replacement.
3. Funding allocation to the Operating Budget Reserve Account from
the annual operating to provide cash flow support for the operating
budget and to fund special needs.
4. Accelerated Debt Reduction
When the Operating Budget Reserve Account reaches a sufficient
level we will begin using this account to pay additional payments on
the bank loan’s principal.
5. Building Our Endowment
The endowment income is very important in providing diversified
income for the operating budget.
The current endowment market value is about $420,000. We need
additional gifts to continue building the endowment. Gifts can be
in the form of cash, stock, IRA distribution, real estate and other
property.
6. Endowment Payout
Beginning with the 2019 operating budget we will be doing a 4%
payout of the fund’s market value.

ST. ANDREW’S IN THE PINES EPISCOPAL CHURCH
ENDOWMENT FUND

]
Christian stewardship involves the faithful management of all of God’s
gifts – time, talent, the created world and financial assets.
Christians can give to the work of the Church through a variety of gift
vehicles, in addition to cash, including bequests in wills, IRA accounts, life
insurance policies, trusts, real estate, securities and other assets.
The parish encourages, receives and administers these gifts in a manner
faithful to the loyalty and devotion to God expressed by the donors and in
accord with the canons of the Episcopal Church and the Diocese of Atlanta
and the policies of our Parish.
The purpose of our Endowment Fund is to enable the parish to fulfill its
mission and therefore distributions from the Endowment Fund are limited
to the annual operating budget, capital needs of the Parish, outreach
ministries and grants, seed money for new ministries and special one time
projects and other purposes as are specifically designated by donors.
The Endowment Fund is managed by the Board of Trustees who manage
the invested funds and oversee the fund’s distributions. The trustees are
appointed by the Vestry. The current trustees are Murray Pascual, Chair,
and members Bryan Price, William “Hub” Lindsey and the Senior Warden
and Rector who serve as ex-officio members.
For questions contact a trustee. For making a gift contact John Anderson
