Hi from your Endowment Committee.

Our meeting on Tuesday, January 6th was our first meeting for 2026. We were happy to welcome the newest member to our committee being Marge Pantaleo.

We had 4 grant requests to be reviewed & I am happy to let you know that we approved the following organizations:

  • The Bridge Thrift Store
  • Veterans Voices Military Group
  • HHH Ranch- (Hands, Hooves & Hearts)

There was one additional request that we are continuing to review.

The officers of the Endowment Committee for 2026 are:
Paula Morrone- Chair
Terry Velten- Secretary
Austin Zarbuck- Treasurer

The Endowment Committee will be making a presentation to our congregation to better explain that Faith UMCOP has an Endowment Fund available to Not for Profit organizations that work to carry out the mission of serving those in need.

Our next meeting will be on March 3rd.

Blessing to all,
Paula Morrone
Endowment Chair
