The Assistance Program of the Board of Pensions embodies our connectional Church at its best through grants provided to those in need — and supported by the donations of generous individuals.
Through the Assistance Program, the Board of Pensions provides need-based grants to help active and retired members of the Benefits Plan of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) and their families. Some assistance programs are designed specifically for ministers.
You can help provide critical financial assistance to those in need by donating to the Assistance Program in a variety of ways, including a one-time gift, annual gifts, legacies, and endowments.
The Assistance Program is supported through generous donations, including one-half of the Christmas Joy Offering. Fully 100 percent of each gift received supports the program.
See how the "huge burden" of Reverend Jane Anabe's seminary debt was relieved through the Assistance Program.
Make a planned gift with the Presbyterian Foundation, and support the Assistance Program for years to come.
