All Saints Foundation
The Mission of the All Saints Foundation is to build permanent and nonpermanent funds to assist our parish in fulfilling its Christian calling. The Pelican Society recognizes those who have made a legacy commitment to the Foundation. WAYS YOU CAN GIVE Starting a fund is quick and easy because preparation of the documents generally takes less than an hour. You have a choice of giving now or deferring your gift.
ASEC Foundation November 2025
The foundation continues to grow, through generous contributions from parishioners as well as favorable investment results.
As of September 30, 2025, the total value of the three components of the foundation is over $1.3 million. This compares with just under $600,000 at the end of 2022. The foundation is comprised of a permanent fund, a non-permanent fund and the Nancy Drayer Music Fund.
There are many ways to contribute to the foundation, such as:
-
Outright gifts of cash or securities
-
Naming the foundation in your estate plans
-
Donation of part or all of your Required Minimum Distribution from an IRA, which can result in significant tax savings
Consult your tax or estate planning advisor for suitable paths for your specific situation.
Those who donate to the foundation or name the foundation in estate plans become members of the All Saints Pelican Society.
If you have questions about the foundation, please contact one of the trustees: Blake Robinson, chair; Dave Russert, vice chair; Jim Titus, Linda Mikita, Ralph Drayer, Hark Harkness, Barbara Colegrove, Becky Forbes (treasurer), and Rev Denise Trogdon.
Our foundation provides a growing stream of income to the church each year and serves as a strong base of financial support for the parish, not only now but for many years into the future.
*The Permanent Fund is like a true endowment protecting the donor’s original gift by using income growth for the distribution.
The Non-Permanent Fund does not require protection of the donor’s original gift so the vestry may use the corpus as the needs of the church arise.
