Finance Committee

Finance Committee -  The  Finance Committee is composed of the Finance Committee chairman, the Senior Warden and the Treasurer.  The committee meets on an ad hoc basis.  The purpose of the committee is to formulate a budget and arrange for an annual audit of the Treasurer’s books and records.  The Finance Committee Chairman presents the budget at the Annual Parish Meeting.

THE ENDOWMENT FUND OF ST. STEPHEN’S EPISCOPAL CHURCH

 The Endowment Fund was established at St. Stephen’s in 2001 to enable the gifting of funds to the church that would provide for a long-term contribution.  Only the income from the principal is to be used to create new and expanded opportunities for programs, ministries and missionary work outside of general operations.  The Fund will ensure the long-term preservation of and improvement of the physical property and financial stability at St. Stephen’s in a way that will not diminish the responsible current support by its members of the general operations of the Parish through annual giving.  It is envisioned that parishioners will make contributions to honor others or from an estate in memory of a loved one.

Grants will be made annually based upon application to the Endowment Fund Committee, which will look to make disbursements that enhance current programs, start new programs or ministries or provide supplemental funds for the maintenance or beautification of St. Stephen’s.  It is limited in the amount of support it can provide for the annual operating budget of the church.

Individuals or groups interested in applying for a grant should complete the application form found on our Website or in the church office.  Normally, applications should be submitted by September 15th in order to receive funding for the following calendar year.  The current committee members and their term expirations are Roger Bick, 2008, (chair), Mary Alice Heaton, 2005, Becky Bagnall, 2006, Suzanne Cowie, 2007, and Don Ingersoll, 2009.  They can be contacted through the church office.
