Endowment gifts are planned gifts from the heart that advance the mission and ministries of Ankeny First. They have enduring impact because the funds are permanent and only earnings will be disbursed as described below. Endowments can be given by individuals who include Ankeny First in their estate planning or be directed by children or executors of estates working with parents or clients to leave an everlasting gift to our church.
We invite our church members to sustain our future by remembering Ankeny First in a will or estate gift. Gifts can be cash, Certificates of Deposit, insurance policies, retirement funds, real estate, stocks, bonds, or other holdings that can be converted to money we deposit into the Endowment Fund. Our By-Laws require the fund distributions to be used in support of the following:
Improvements or additions to buildings and grounds
Christian Education programs, classes or scholarships
Missions: local, state, national or international outreach
Fine Arts: Music, Drama
Staff Expansion
