The Incarnation Foundation

The Incarnation Foundation – The Incarnation Foundation holds and manages assets that produce income for missions and ministries of the Church of the Incarnation beyond the current operating budget. The Foundation is not funded through the annual pledge campaign of the parish, which we urge you to support first, but through a pool of extra-ordinary gifts invested and used to honor the past, sustain the present and nurture the future from generation to generation.

What does the income from The Incarnation Foundation fund?
Gifts invested in the Foundation grow safely into remarkable resources used for planning and implementing future parish life and mission. Each year, income generated from gifts of assets is allocated to new Church endeavors. Historically, funds have supported programs like the Church’s renowned music program, youth programs, outreach missions and capital projects.

How can you help the growth and impact of The Incarnation Foundation?
There are many ways. Outright or deferred gifts of assets to The Incarnation Foundation provide the Church with gifts that will, through responsible investment over time, multiply your original gift.
