The Grace UMC Permanent Endowment Fund was created in 1999 to provide an opportunity for members and friends of Grace Church to make individual contributions, bequests and memorials where the principal is permanently retained and invested. Income, such as interest and dividends, generated by such investments is used annually to serve the various ministries of the church.

Funds received for this purpose are deposited with a Fund Administrator, (currently The Florida United Methodist Foundation) that will invest all permanent funds received and serve as custodian of any short-term investments of assets received. The objectives of the Fund are to conserve principal and make use of only the income from the Fund unless the donor specifically designates the use of the principal in the will or other gift instrument.
