Disciples Women
Women's Endowment Fund
The Women's Endowment Fund was established in 1990 to provide the opportunity to contribute to a permanent fund that benefits the work, both now and in the future, of women in the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ). This fund allows women the opportunity to make a tremendous difference in the shaping of the world to come through decisions they make today. Through this fund, the visions and dreams of women are made real as they share the good news and minister in the name of Jesus Christ throughout the world. The funds are invested through the Christian Church Foundation to keep pace with inflation and produce a steady stream of income. Only the interest on the investments is used to support grant requests, and first priority is given to ministry which benefits the entire women’s network.

"This trip did not have the 'initial glow' I experienced
during the planning stages, but it has changed my vision of
what I may be able to accomplish. I think the underlying fact
is that 'one' person with 'one' idea can make a difference."
Don't try to save the whole world at once, just make a difference
in the world, one person at a time.
"... let me thank the Women's Endowment Fund for this
opportunity. Please realize the generosities of those making
contributions to this fund are truly planting 'seeds of faith'
in many areas."
