Pinnacle Foundation

We Are Seeds of the Future

We dream, envision, and set things in motion for those who succeed us. The fruition of our decisions will be known to generations we will not meet. We are called to partner in faith with those who have gone before us and offer the best that we have to give to those who follow.

In 2006, Pinnacle Presbyterian Church leaders saw the need to ensure and safeguard the long-term financial interests of this magnificent church. To meet this need, the Pinnacle Presbyterian Church Foundation was created. Gifts can be given directly to the church or directly to the Foundation. Both help ensure that the needs and ministries of the Church will be met in the years to come. In addition, it is a wonderful way to put a giver’s faith into action and realize their vision for the future of our church.

Stewardship is Today - Foundation is Tomorrow

Charitable giving through both current gifts and estate planning provides friends and members of Pinnacle the perfect way to leave their mark and final testimony of their faith and values on our church and various mission programs. Our Foundation explores ways in which its funds can benefit not only the church but also the givers who leave a legacy for the work of the church through their estate.

About the Foundation

Pinnacle Presbyterian Church Foundation is a private foundation, charitable 501(c)(3) tax-exempt Arizona Corporation,
EIN: 20-3772264, governed through its by-laws.

It has two primary missions. The first is to actively educate church members on the importance of setting aside funds for the long-term needs and extraordinary donor-directed programs of Pinnacle Presbyterian Church and to secure gifts and bequests for these purposes. The second is to invest such funds, with sound judgment and monitoring, for current or later use by PPC and its individual programs, assuring all that the fund usage is consistent with the intent of the donor of the funds.

Our Foundation is part of a comprehensive, vision-based approach to stewardship, mission, and church finances that supports and inspires generosity and commitment in the congregation. To support a comprehensive approach to stewardship, mission, and the church’s fiscal planning, the Session and the Trustees have entered into a Trust Agreement with the church.
