THE ANNUAL MEETING OF ST MARTINS EPISCOPAL CHURCH

THE ANNUAL MEETING OF ST. MARTIN’S EPISCOPAL CHURCH WELCOME

Treasurer’s Presentation January 26, 2014

History and Context • Historically, the church could call on a few wealthy members of the congregation to cover deficits; • This is no longer an option. • Total endowment, $2. 9 million in 2005, fell to $1. 9 million in 2008, now $2. 5 (inc. Memorial Funds and Rector’s Discretionary Fund); preservation of spending power mandates reducing annual draw on endowment. • Location affects contributions; RI has one of the lowest general philanthropy contribution rates in the country. • Our pledges: 2014 goal: $340, 000 from 190 families and individuals. Actual so far: $304, 000 from 139 givers.

Unrestricted $. 3 million. 2012 - $2. 2; 2011 - $2. 0 • The Endowment represents legacy gifts from the past. • Responsible stewardship for coming generations requires that we reduce the “draw” below 7 -8% toward a more sustainable 4 -6%. • In 2006 the Vestry made a deliberate decision to draw up to 7% to fund a 3 -year growth plan; we continued for 5 years! • 2013 actual draw (including deficit) was 8. 4%. • 2014 budget draw (including deficit) is 8. 3%.

Capital Improvements • We borrowed $100, 000 for five years @ 1. 5% interest to fund new hot water heating system for church and repairs & maintenance to parish house. Repayment $20, 800 in 2014 and for next four years.
