What is the Founda�on?

The Central United Methodist Church Founda�on was established in the 1960s, incorporated in 1965, with revised and amended bylaws May 18, 2003, for exclusively benevolent, religious, charitable, educa�onal, eleemosynary (charity support), health, literary and scien�fic purposes. These purposes benefit Central United Methodist Church of Albuquerque, Inc., the New Mexico Annual Conference of the United Methodist Church and the United Methodist Church throughout the world. To achieve these purposes, the Founda�on relies on its Board of Trustees and members. They provide the business and financial exper�se to create a steady and growing stream of income to help finance the many programs and missions of Central and the denomina�on. Over the years the Founda�on has grown significantly in total assets to over $1.3M using a moderate investment policy, and in the variety of planned giving op�ons offered through the Church. The Board of Trustees and Founda�on members pledge to the members of Central United Methodist Church our best efforts to con�nue this necessary and meaningful service.
