Edgewater Emmanuel United Methodist Church Foundation

The Edgewater Emmanuel United Methodist Church Foundation was established in 1974. The Foundation accepts gifts, bequests and memorials of any size. All contributions are invested and become part of the Foundation’s permanent capital. The earnings from these investments are distributed annually, but the initial gift will always remain in the Foundation. The Foundation is a non-profit Minnesota corporation. All gifts made to it are tax deductible.

The Foundation contributes all of its annual earnings to church and community service programs that further the Christian ministries and responsibilities of the Edgewater Emmanuel congregation. Grants are made to programs and needs other than those provided for in the regular church budget.

The Edgewater Emmanuel Foundation is an excellent way to advance the ministry of our church and fulfill our stewardship obligations. Your gifts will serve the church and community both now and in the future. You may become part of the Foundation by:
