Our visionary leaders
established the
Foundation of San
Marino Community
Church in 1958 because
they believed in the
Church’s Christian
mission and ministry to
the community. Over
half a century later, the
Foundation continues
to operate to ensure
that this good work
will continue for many
generations.
For where your treasure is, there your
heart will be also. Luke 12:34
Creating a Legacy for
The Cornerstone SocietyThe Cornerstone Society recognizes those who have
included the Foundation of San Marino Community
Church in their estate plans. If you wish to be
included in the Cornerstone Society, please notify
the Foundation or church office.
The Foundation of the San Marino Community Church
• believes that, in response to God’s blessings, members give back through financial support
• provides church members the opportunity to leave a legacy, and allows members to designate how those donated funds will be used
• creates current and future giving opportunities
• is the steward of the church’s endowment funds
Consisting of donated funds that are held and invested in perpetuity, the Foundation
disburses funds from the endowment annually to support all facets of the Church’s
community, including education programs, children and adult ministries, music
ministries, facililty care and mission grants. While the church’s operating budget
covers daily operating expenses, it cannot absorb all necessary long-term capital
improvements and special projects, and has only limited capacity for weathering
difficult economic times. This is why the Foundation is so important.
Gifts to the Foundation The Foundation of San Marino
Community Church actively seeks and
gratefully receives gifts of all sizes. Gifts
to the Foundation may be designated
to support one of the Foundation’s
pooled endowment funds, or may be
directed by the Board of the Foundation.
Usually funds are divided between the
Mission Grants (40%) and Facility Care
(60%) funds. Donors can create a named
endowment fund with a minimum gift
of $25,000.
In addition to gifts of cash or appreciated securities, donors can also choose to name the Foundation in their will, trust agreement, life insurance policy or IRA. Individuals may consider a charitable gift annuity as well—an irrevocable gift that provides fixed income during the donor’s lifetime.
The Foundation’s funds are managed by a Board of Directors, consisting of nine voting members, in addition to the Senior Pastor, who serves as an ex-officio member.
“Our hope is that by becoming members of the Cornerstone Society we will participate in the legacy of San Marino Community
Church, helping families raise their children in a Christ centered community of faith.”
–Tim and Lisa Sloan
“Our family has benefitted so much from SMCC. We have each been directors of the Foundation and officers of the church and our children have been in church programs from toddlers to teachers. We know our annual pledge to the church is essential
but not enough. Through anniversary gifts and the Cornerstone Society we help the Foundation
promote long-term sustainability in church programs, facility care and mission efforts.”
-Chris and Laurie Mitchell
“We are donors to the Foundation because of our interest in outreach, Christian education and campus maintenance. We feel that gifts to
the Foundation will provide a legacy for future generations.” -Randy and Mary Heartfield
All donors to the Foundation of San Marino Community Church and members of the Cornerstone Society are recognized in the Foundation’s yearly report which is published with the Annual Report of the congregation.
