christ episcopal church foundation

The Christ Episcopal Church in Ponte Vedra Beach Charitable Foundation was established in 1983 to support, enhance and continue the religious, charitable, and educational activities of Christ Episcopal Church and to provide support not only in the internal affairs of the parish and church, but also in Christian and charitable activities of the community.

Membership
The membership (Vestry) annually elects the Board of Trustees, which is comprised of no fewer than 18 and not more than 32 persons, plus the Rector, who automatically serves as Chairman.

Assets
Currently the Foundation holds almost $3 million with committed gifts far exceeding this total.

Outreach
Each year, the Foundation sponsors a house tour, patron party, golf tournament and Shared Treasures estate sale to raise funds for charitable organizations in the community, and for four-year Florida pre-paid college scholarships for deserving and economically-challenged students. Other funds are distributed for the ministries of Christ Episcopal Church from endowments and guardianships based on instructions of the donor.

Legacy Society
Established by the Trustees of Christ Episcopal Church Foundation, the Legacy Society recognizes those whose lives have been touched by the ministries of Christ Episcopal Church, and who have made a documented deferred or endowment gift to the Foundation. Behind every legacy gift to our Foundation is a story about how a family or individual has been blessed through involvement in the spiritual life and Gospel ministries of Christ Episcopal Church.

There are several tax-advantaged ways to make a planned gift to the Foundation, including:
* Bequests
* Life insurance
* Charitable lead trust
* Charitable remainder unitrust
* Charitable gift annuity
