Heritage Society and Parish Programs
For over ten years, Heritage Society chapters have existed in our Diocese to help ensure the financial strength of the Episcopal Church in Southeast Florida. Membership is open to anyone who indicates that they have included the church in their estate plans. This is done, most commonly, through a bequest in a will, but increasingly parishioners are using life insurance, gifts through a trust, charitable gift annuities, IRA’s or other charitable vehicles.

Episcopal Lawyers
There are now two counties within the Diocese that are in the process of forming Episcopal Lawyers Associations. Palm Beach has approximately 120 members; Dade County has recently formed with over 150 members.
Parish Endowment Workshop
Many churches have established a working Endowment or Investment funds. Each Congregation will develop the necessary documentation to being the organization of setting an Endowment Fund in place. If you wish to schedule a time in which to have a representative of Episcopal Charities meet with your vestry or congregation to discuss the Endowment Workshop further, please call The Episcopal Charities office at 561-799-6424.
