Endowment Fund
The Endowment Fund ensures the long-term financial health of the church by earning interest and providing a base of capital to underwrite our financial commitments. If you’re interested in contributing to the Endowment Fund, contact the Stewardship team at give@wildflowerchurch.org.
Donate Your Vehicle
We have teamed up with Charitable Auto Resources (CARS) so you can donate your old vehicle to Wildflower and CARS does the rest. They will contact you to schedule the pickup of your vehicle (running or not) and sell to the highest bidder. The proceeds are then given to Wildflower to be applied as you direct. This is the ultimate green program as it recycles your vehicle and provides “green stuff” to fund the work of the church. Learn more and process your donation on the CARS website or email give@wildflowerchurch.org.
Pledges
Pledging mainly supports the church’s Operating Fund. It’s a great way to let the church know to expect your contribution so that we can plan to meet our expenses. You do not have to be a member to pledge. For members, an annual pledge is required to vote at congregational meetings. There is no minimum annual pledge, and you can plan to pay with any frequency. You can pay by bank draft, credit card, check, or cash in the offering plate.
