Since its founding in 1978, the First Presbyterian Church Foundation has developed into a dynamic and important source of funds for the church and our community. The Foundation, built on the Christian tradition of sharing our resources, reflects our commitment to the life and work of the church. It allows us to meet the challenges of today and tomorrow. We invite you to become an active part of this effort.

Whether you want to honor the memory of a loved one, or ensure the future growth of our mission programs, a gift to the foundation will maximize the return on your dollars. The Foundation supports the mission of our church in two important ways: the careful stewardship of a stable, well-managed endowment fund helps to secure the future of our church; and the annual interest income on this endowment enables us to support a wide range of projects. Contributions to the foundation may be used to:

   

	Pay tribute to loved ones through a memorial gift.
	Put your money to use in our community through local mission programs.
	Support church building funds to help defray the cost of capital expenditures.
	Perpetuate the life of the church through investing in youth & education programs.
	Sponsor a unique project in the name of the church.
	Ensure the continued success of church programs and activities.

The First Presbyterian Church Foundation provides an opportunity for you to make a difference. You may choose to contribute in a number of ways - through giving a special cash gift, writing a check, endorsing stock to the church, designating a trust fund, or planning a future bequest. You will have the satisfaction of knowing your investment will go to work for the church.

  Your generosity will result in meeting the needs of today, as well as the needs of tomorrow. Your contribution is tax deductible and will be recorded in a permanent Foundation Memorial Book. If you have questions about how to give to the Foundation, call the church office at (440)993-3731 and you will be directed to a member of the Foundation's Board of Supervisors. We thank you for your interest in the Foundation.
