APCE - Endowment Fund

History of the Endowment Fund

In the late 1990's, the APCE Cabinet began looking forward to a new era of educational ministry. With a new Mission Statement in hand, the APCE Cabinet began seeking to provide a solid foundation for educators in the new century. An Endowment Fund was established that would provide money for future growth, advocacy and visions for ministry. Donations come from individuals and regional groups who have a strong desire to see the work of APCE continue for years to come. As the fund has continued to grow, the APCE Cabinet formed an Endowment Committee to provide visibility for the Fund as well as guidelines for use.

How To Help the Endowment Grow

You can participate by making financial contributions of any size in memory of or in honor of individuals who have been significant in your educational ministry. Remember the Educators, Church School Teachers, Pastors, Family Members, and Friends who have encouraged you along your journey. Contributions may be mailed to The APCE Endowment Fund; PO Box 7991161, Baltimore, MD 21279-1161.
