Desert Southwest United Methodist Foundation is celebrating 40 years of doing more good for churches and Methodist organizations in Arizona and southern Nevada.

We 'Do More Good' in four key areas:

1. Investments

2. Education

3. Grants and Scholarships

4. Consulting

Our investments are managed through Wespath Institutional Investments and adhere to the values in the Book of Discipline.  Churches and individuals setting up funds with the Foundation may select from several investment options tailored toward risk preferences.

Education services are available through our e-newsletter, our website, or customized presentations for your congregation.  We can advise on establishing endowment funds, various planned giving vehicles, and tax-wise giving strategies.

Grants are funded by reserves accrued on our own DSUMF investments and individual contributions.  Some grants and scholarships are designated by donors when they make the gift. 

Consulting is available from the Foundation on budgeting, facilities, and funding.  We are happy to share insights gained over our four decades of history.

For additional information about our work, please plan to come celebrate our birthday with us in the afternoon of April 30th at our office in Goodyear, Arizona.  Get to know our Board members and congratulate grant recipients on their worthy projects.  We hope you will join us!

Blessings,
