Legacy Gifts

Legacy gifts support the permanence of our church in the lives of those who follow us.

As you consider the legacy you want to leave, Swarthmore Presbyterian Church invites you to consider the following funds.

Second Century Fund

The Second Century Fund, established in 1995 to support the life and mission of the church for the next 100 years, is SPC’s primary and most flexible endowment fund. It supports the priorities of the church as determined by Session. General non-targeted gifts will contribute to this venerable fund.

Building Preservation Fund

This fund enables the giver to contribute to the maintenance and improvements of SPC’s beloved church home. The success of this fund will enable future generations’ annual pledges to be directed toward the ministries that each generation deems most faithful.
