St. Martin’s Foundation
The St. Martin's Foundation seeks to encourage the grace of giving through contributions to a perpetual trust formed in 1973 to undertake God's work in the world.
The Foundation Board administers the Foundation funds. The board consists of eight parishioners serving four-year terms. Each year a new chairman is selected among the board members serving. Board members agree to manage specific funds and approve applications submitted.
Contact Rev. Mitch Smith for additional Foundation information or questions.
The Foundation is further supported by The Legacy Society, those members of St. Martin's who remember the parish in their estate. Funds donated through The Legacy Society may be designated for any of the Foundation funds or a special ministry or need within the parish. Funds not donated for a specific purpose are managed as undesignated gifts.
