The United Methodist Stewardship Foundation of Greater New Jersey (UMSF)

The UMSF serves the financial stewardship and investment needs of Greater New Jersey, its local churches and its agencies. We partner with local churches and agencies in GNJ to invest, grow, manage and utilize funds so that they can multiply their ministry to make disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world.

We work with churches to develop endowments, manage reserve funds and encourage planned giving. Our investment policy follows the socially responsible investing practices of the United Methodist Church. The investment management is handled by Wespath Investment Management in accordance with United Methodist principals. Currently, we have over $41 million in assets under management. Services include stewardship education and planned giving counsel.

Now Maybe a Good Time to Encourage Planned Gifts

Legacy is on the minds of many during these challenging times–what legacy they want to leave for family, alma mater, community and church. Consider a Legacy Planning (Estate Planning) Seminar. A free one is available from The Stewardship Foundation of GNJ.

Participants will learn the basics of establishing a will or a trust, selecting key financial and healthcare decision makers and planning for a funeral. Legacy planning is important for anyone wanting to reduce the burden loved ones face when the unexpected happens. Everyone should have a will, but they are especially important for those with children or those who want to control the distribution of their property.

When we are good stewards of our legacy, there are many lasting benefits. Your legacy can benefit your children and heirs, help those in need, inspire generosity in others, strengthen the inner character of the donor, the donor’s family, and give glory to God.
