| The St. Matthew Endowment Fund is a permanent depository of gifts which are invested so that the proceeds can be put to work for special projects, needs and/or outreach programs of the church as determined by a congregation elected Board of Trustees. Every dollar given to the Endowment Fund remains in the fund permanently. DISTRIBUTION Each calendar year, the Endowment Fund Board determines an annual distribution amount, taking into account the goal of maintaining the fund's principal value in light of inflation. This distribution amount is then available to meet requests upon approval of the Board of Trustees. The Endowment Fund interest income can be used to enhance the growth and outreach of the church, its ministries and its stewardship, but not to support the ordinary, reoccuring budgeted expenses of the congregation, nor any other organization that would be the recipient of the proceeds.
