Memorial Contributions
The Quincy Unitarian Church Memorial Fund was established in 1961 during the ministry of the Rev. George Crist. The Fund received gifts to the church from family and friends in remembrance of the deceased.
A Memorial Committee was established to manage this Fund’s investment. The proceeds could be used only for capital improvements, not for ongoing expenses.
The committee sent notes of appreciation to the donors, reports of the gifts to the family of the deceased, and prepared a memorial page to be placed in permanent record books.
The Memorial Committee’s responsibility was expanded in 1964 to include significant gifts, bequests, and trust donations. Initially named the Capital Trust and now called the Endowment, these funds are carefully invested in secure instruments to preserve the value and ensure the financial future of the church. These funds are kept separate from the Memorial funds.
The committee, now named the Memorial and Endowment Committee, continues managing these Funds with carefully structured investment policies and guidelines. The purpose and use of the Memorial funds has not changed. The increase in the value of The Endowment’s funds may be used for projects beyond the normal budgeted expenses of the church.
Short sketches of the lives we remember are collected in albums kept at the church. Their names appear below:
