Every year heritage money from your people is given away to colleges, health agencies, the arts, and a plethora of other non-profits while you struggle to finance your current ministries, much less your future. Perhaps you already have an endowment fund or foundation, but it isn't going anywhere.

To finance the success of your future, call Kairos. Our specialists will motivate your people to consider the church as part of their overall estate planning. What a great opportunity for the people of your congregation to support a church that means so much to them and so much to your community.

 Whether seeking help in establishing a foundation, re-igniting interest in an existing foundation, or setting up a campaign for endowment, congregations can turn to Kairos. Our multiple options give you as much flexibility as you'd like as you educate your people, helping them understand how their charitable gifts to a congregational endowment program not only benefit their church, but also offer advantages to them and their families.

Now is the time to paint the big picture of what a long-term endowment program can do for the future of your congregation and for individuals and families within your congregation, as well as for the church at large. These options help you maximize support for your congregational foundation or endowment fund through gifts which are given gladly, without pressure, by the people within your congregation according to their resources:

  • Congregational Endowment Handbook: Our do-it-yourself guide provides the materials you need to help you set up a program calendar, outline objectives and get your endowment/foundation up and running.
  • ABCs of Endowment: This series of 30 color slides is accompanied by corresponding speaker notes, as well as a master set of audience notes, for a self-guided internal seminar to educate your endowment/foundation committee and staff, or to summarize charitable gift options for people of the congregation.
  • Power Lunch Package: We provide you a complete PowerPoint presentation or printed manual using the same materials for one-on-one presentations with people of your congregation.
  • Video Presentation: Our 10-minute video presentation allows your foundation to make a step-by-step presentation on the basics of endowment and the advantages of charitable giving.
  • Endowment Consultant Seminars: Our Kairos consultant can visit your congregation, providing seminars to endowment/foundation boards, allied professionals or major donors. These seminars include information on creative giving, planned outright gifts and charitable options in financial and estate planning. Presentations are also available for annual fundraising and donor recognition events.
  • One-on-One Donor Visits: Our Kairos specialists are available to visit one-on-one with major donors, assisting them in their plan to support your congregational endowment/ foundation and other major charities they choose.

Your Kairos specialist will help you decide which congregational endowment or foundation program options best fit your needs as you promote understanding and potential support among your people.
