The United Methodist Foundation is a service ministry of the Memphis and Tennessee Annual Conferences of The United Methodist Church.

Established in 1941, the Foundation has experienced substantial growth since its beginning.

Its ministries include:
  • Asset management for funds belonging to church endowments and other funds;
  • Management of trust assets; and
  • Management of conference funds.
Endowments are established to hold and manage assets for many reasons. 

The Foundation assists churches in the creation and investment of endowment assets.

Individuals are served through collaboration with attorneys and financial planners who assist those persons in maximizing their personal resources during their lifetime and at death.
