Staff of the United Methodist Foundation, Inc., presented a workshop focused on different ways generosity is demonstrated in giving through annual income, accumulated assets and estate gifts.
Participants learned how an endowment ministry can actually increase annual giving, what motivates people to give and how to recognize those who are likely to make a planned gift. Workshop leaders Rev. Reggie Ponder and Lauralee Bailey helped participants envision their churches and communities decades in the future and learned how to set a course for ministry to be funded for future generations.
