The Church of the Good Shepherd has four endowment funds as of 7 /1/21. All funds are designated for the needs of the Church Community as described below. These funds are overseen by an Endowment Board consisting of at least five church parishioners appointed by the Vestry to a 3-year term, plus the Rector and Senior Warden. The board meets at least four times a year and more often if needed. The funds themselves are managed by Reynolds Investment Management, Inc. of Greenville SC. The board and Reynolds meet at least yearly to review investment policies and performance.
The endowment Board has adopted policies and procedures as outlined by the Episcopal Church Foundation, including enabling resolutions authorizing each fund, policies and guidelines for investments, spending, gift acceptance, etc. It is vital that donors to our funds have confidence in the management and usage of the monies entrusted to the Church.

"CREATING ONE’S LEGACY"
presented by the Endowment Board of The Church of the Good Shepherd
August 6, 13, 20
Some of the best gifts a person can give family members include the directives for medical, legal, and spiritual wishes in case one becomes very ill or dies. These issues are not easy to think about, and even less easy to talk about, but having one’s affairs in order creates a peace of mind for all involved.
To help people think through what can be complicated and difficult choices, the Good Shepherd Endowment Board sponsored three sessions entitled, “Creating One’s Legacy.” These three presentations took place on August 6, 13, and 20. Each session is approximately an hour. Please enjoy the recordings below as well as the documents that are referenced in the sessions.
