What is the Foundation?
The FUMC Georgetown Foundation was established in 1988 to provide members and friends of FUMC the opportunity to make legacy and enduring gifts to the church either as direct gifts or through estate planning and bequests.
​
The Foundation is managed by a volunteer rotating board of church leaders chosen through the annual nominations process. Gifts to the fund are invested, not spent, and provide a perpetual source of income in support of the church’s ministries and missions.
​
​
For more information on planned giving to the FUMC Foundation, please email foundation@fumcgt.org or call the church office at 512-863-2370 x225.

Foundation Distribution Funds
The First United Methodist Church Foundation is comprised of four endowed funds:
Facilities Endowed Fund
The purpose of this fund is to support existing facility needs as well as future needs of our church campus.
“As a Pastor who has been part of many churches, I can tell you what a gift these Foundation distributions are to the Trustees. It is rare to actually have the needed funds when unexpected, but urgently needed repairs arise."
Rev. Alan McGrath
Senior Pastor
Ministry Endowed Fund
This endowment creates a fund outside the annual budget to support new and existing church missions and ministries.
“The most exciting thing for me is that many of these young folks, new to church and/or new to our church, are now actively involved in other guidance and leadership roles at FUMCGT. They are becoming our next generational leaders.”
Tina Schramme
Associate Pastor
Music Endowed Fund
This fund provides resources that enhance ways of
sharing music in worship as it relates to choir, handbells, organ, and orchestra.
“The Worship Arts program is incredibly grateful for these and future investments for many years to come."
Marc Profant
Music & Worship Arts Director
Student Ministries Endowed Fund
This fund supports opportunities for young people to participate in projects that contribute to their spiritual growth.
"The Student Ministry Endowment is growing and I look forward to the many ways future distributions will enhance our students in their unique faith journeys."
Kellie Brewer
Student Ministries Director
