FUMC Foundation

The Foundation is a not-for-profit Missouri corporation which was formed for charitable and educational purposes under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. The Foundation is a supporting organization of the First United Methodist Church, Jefferson City, Missouri and, as such, is considered a public charity. The Foundation, however, stands apart from the First United Methodist Church and is governed by its own volunteer board of directors. The Foundation enjoys charitable tax exempt status from the IRS and gifts to the Foundation are tax deductible for income tax reporting purposes.

The FUMC Foundation allows you to direct donations to projects that mean the most to you and your family. Whether you wish to support children or adult ministries, mission projects, music or scholarships, a donation of any amount is meaningful and appreciated. All (100%) of your donation will be used for the purpose you indicate.

The Foundation supports the outreach of our Church which is not covered by the Church’s annual operating budget. This mission is accomplished through scholarships and grants.
