"Hear, O Israel: the Lord is our God, the Lord alone. You shall love the Lord with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your might."
Deuteronomy 6:4-5

Jesus adds that we should love our neighbor as ourselves. Deuteronomy reminds us of a truth we already know -- that we live in cities that we did not build; that we drink water from wells that we did not dig; that we eat from vineyards that we did not tend. (Deut 6:10-11)

Through your endowed gift you can be confident that your work will continue here at Second Presbyterian Church forever. An endowment is a fund which is invested in perpetuity and distributes an annual income which will prove to be vital to Second Presbyterian Church Little Rock's mission.

You have worked hard to earn and save throughout your lifetime. You can be assured that your gift will be used well and be honored for all future generations here at Second Presbyterian Church Little Rock.

Endow your Annual Gift

Your annual gift is an important part of how we fund our mission. Would you like to consider making your annual gift in perpetuity? Establishing an endowment is a sensible way to ensure this happens. Most endowments generate 5% to distribute annually, so as a general rule of thumb an endowment may be 20 times your annual gift. For many this sum may not be immediately available and so might choose to set up their own endowment through their will or trust. Here are sample amounts for an endowment based on gift size:

$5,000 $100,000
$10,000 $200,000
$20,000 $400,000
$50,000 $1,00,000
