Church Programs - Assistance for Institutions
The goal of the United Methodist Frontier Foundation is to educate, empower, and provide the resource tools for United Methodists to faithfully fund the ministry of the Church. We offer programs for annual giving, planned giving, and investment management, as well as for developing endowments or other funds whose income will provide opportunities for continuing and new ministry.
