Endowment Fund

The Endowment Fund is one of the ministries of Prince of Peace designed to reach out to others in the name and command of our Lord Jesus Christ. While some funds come from the annual increase in the invested endowment, the bulk of available resources come directly from contributions from our own congregation.

To make a contribution, simply complete a check payable to Prince of Peace Lutheran Church and indicate on the memo portion of the check that it is a contribution for the Endowment Fund. You may place your contribution in your weekly church envelope or simply send your gift designated for the Endowment Fund to Prince of Peace Lutheran Church, 455 Missouri Ave., Largo, FL 33770.

The Endowment Board begins the review of suggested outreach efforts each spring beginning in March, if funds are available. We seek proposals from members of the congregation and others for such gifts. If you know of a program, project, or ministry consistent with Prince of Peace’s mission/vision that is not a part of our annual budget for ministries and which could benefit from financial support from the Endowment Fund, please print and complete the 2022 Grant Request. Once the Request for Funding Form is completed, please deliver the form to the Church Office marking it to the attention of the Endowment Board. The form can be hand delivered, mailed or e-mailed to the Church Office.
