Established in 1987, the St. John Foundation is a perpetually growing endowment. The assets are invested, and the principal is never spent. Income generated from the interest, dividends, and capital gains are distributed annually to support St. John Church & School ministries, including community outreach programs. The Foundation is supported entirely through gifts and donations from the congregation and community and does not receive any funds from the annual budget. The Foundation's Board of Governors is elected by the St. John congregation and is responsible for the management, allocation, and distribution of funds.
