By Gard Jameson, Treasurer, Urantia Foundation
The Urantia Community Endowment has been established to provide a long-term endowment for the benefit of the fifth epochal revelation. It is directed by a board of long-time readers who represent Urantia Foundation, the Urantia Association International, The Urantia Book Fellowship and other independent service groups. The Urantia Community Endowment is a cooperative and collaborative effort to provide financial support to the entire community of readers of The Urantia Book.
Three funds have already been established: The Urantia Foundation Fund, the Urantia Association International Fund, and The Urantia Book Fellowship Fund. These funds are managed by a professional money manager through the Nevada Community Foundation, which manages $50 million in assets. Through these funds, education, translations, book distribution, field-service work, and scholarships will be available. Many are the thoughtful and worthy projects in our community that struggle due to a lack of funding.
Think about being a blessing to the fifth epochal revelation by making a gift to the Urantia Community Endowment, which can be done during your lifetime or after your graduation. You can give to a particular cause, for example, seeding books in under-developed countries, or for more general causes, such as to the operation of a specific organization participating in the endowment. It is hoped that the fund will help foster co-operation, long-term stability, and goodwill for the Urantia Revelation.
The board of the Urantia Community Endowment consists of Cathy Jones, Toby Fox, Mo Siegel, Susan Cook, and Gard Jameson.
