St. Luke's has two endowment funds: The St. Luke's Episcopal Church Endowment Fund and The Reverend Claudia Giacoma Endowment Fund for the Arts and Healing ("endowment funds").  These funds were established in 2018 and 2019, respectively.

The Endowment Fund Committee ("Committee") oversees the endowment funds, which are currently managed by the Episcopal Church Foundation and State Street Global Advisors.  While the Vestry specifically determines how the funds will be used, the Committee, along with the St. Luke's Treasurer, periodically makes distributions from the funds for the purposes agreed upon. 

The Committee will also work to develop a comprehensive planned giving program to encourage persons, trusts, and estates to consider making gifts, grants, bequests, or other legacy gifts to St. Luke’s Episcopal Church. 

The Committee consists of a minimum of three or five regular members, or more in increments of odd numbers, all of whom shall be members in good standing of St. Luke’s Episcopal Church. They shall be recommended by the Rector and approved by the Vestry.  Each member will serve a three-year term, with a new member appointed each year as one member rotates off. 

Any member interested in serving on this Committee should contact Reverend Ashley.
