The
Mission
The WMU Foundation supports the cause of Christ
by assisting Woman's Missionary Union® as
well as individuals who faithfully support WMU®.
The Foundation was established as a separate 501(c)(3)
nonprofit corporation to provide services to donors
who desire to provide funding to WMU. The Foundation
is governed by a self-perpetuating board of trustees,
which consists of up to 20 professional and businesspersons.
WMU's executive director-treasurer and national
president serve as ex officio trustees.

The
Purpose
The Foundation's major purpose is to facilitate
the making of donations for the advancement of
WMU missions projects and programs. The WMU Foundation
is the organization which receives gifts for the
benefit of WMU. This enables donors to support
more than one WMU cause and the work of the WMU
Foundation through a gift into a fund, endowment,
or trust. The Foundation welcomes gifts of all
sizes so that the joy of ultimate stewardship
may be shared by everyone, whether his or her
means are modest or substantial.

The
Challenge
Since 1888, Woman's Missionary Union has endeavored
to live out its mission through missions education
and involvement in an ever-changing world. Yet,
the challenges and needs of service and missions
have never been more intense. Likewise, the need
for financial resources to sustain the WMU mission
has never been greater.
