The Trust Fund is divided into 2 distinct funds:
Memorial Fund: 100% of this gift must be spent for the designated purpose.
Perpetual Fund: Earned interest only may be spent. Principal can never be used.
An “undesignated gift” can be used it on any request which comes before the committee. A “designated” gift can only be spent for the purpose it was designated by the donor.

Since inception the Trust Fund has been included in a few estates and your committee has managed the funds well. Unfortunately, there have been very few bequests since the early years. We need your support to keep our primary mission within reach. The Trust Fund needs to be remembered in our member’s wills; we need to be the recipients of occasional funding. Gift to the trust fund are welcome at any time, whether they be for specific memorials or for a specific purpose, like the scholarship program. We can’t continue to provide the “extras” as the church grows if we only maintain the fund. As St John grows so must your Trust Fund.
