Appendix B: What Is The DHPC Foundation?

Foundation Purpose

DHPCF is an IRS qualified 501(c)(3), nonprofit corporation that exists to assist members and friends of DHPC who have the ability and desire to financially support the Church in its efforts to spread the gospel of Jesus Christ throughout our local community and beyond.

Foundation Management

The Foundation is managed by a Board of Directors whose primary mission will be to provide a perpetual source of income so as to ensure the organization’s financial viability. Funds generated by the DHPCF endowment and specific gifts will be spent as directed by the DHPC Session working in conjunction with the Foundation Board or the donor.

Classification and Manner of Giving

The Session of Desert Hills Presbyterian Church encourages its members and friends to think seriously about how they can help support, improve, and expand the Church’s ministry over the long term. Gifts may include cash, securities, real property (real estate and valuable tangibles), life insurance and life income plans (annuities, pooled funds and trusts). Gifts may be made in a lump sum, installment gifts over time or gifts from wills and estates.

Donors may attach any condition or restriction to their gifts so long as they are legally and morally acceptable, will not adversely affect the mission of DHPC or the fund’s nonprofit status, and are approved in advance by the Foundation Board. The Foundation Board and the Session of Desert Hills Presbyterian Church would prefer that gifts be made to the Foundation’s General Endowment Fund without restriction so that the Session and the Board will have the flexibility to designate uses of the funds wherever the need is greatest at a particular time.
