LOCAL CHARITABLE GRANTS
Holy Trinity Lutheran Church and its members have generously donated money over the years to
support organizations assisting people in need in Anderson County. The HTLC Mission
Endowment Fund has been a significant donor, distributing more than $28,000 in 2022 due to
stock market gains in 2021. However, in 2022, due to market losses and the fund’s operational
guidelines, the fund will not be able to distribute any grants in 2023 to organizations assisting
those in need in Anderson County.
We feel it is important for HTLC to maintain a notable presence with community charities,
especially in difficult economic times.
Over the past three years, the Endowment Fund of Holy Trinity has been able to provide a
total average of $10,483 per year, which has been divided and given to the following
organizations:
1. A.I.M.
2. Good Neighbor Cupboard
3. Anderson Free Clinic
4. Haven of Rest
5. Salvation Army of Anderson
Despite their continuing needs, they will receive no HTLC Endowment Fund grants in 2023.
If you already donate directly to any of these organizations or wish to contribute, we encourage
you to consider donating through their existing, specific HTLC designated account by marking
your charity donation on your offering envelope. This way, HTLC aims to ensure a regular
contribution to these organizations even when the Endowment Fund faces limitations.
These five organizations are familiar to HTLC for their efficient provision of basic services to
Anderson County residents, and we believe they should be the top priorities for our support.
Thank you for considering this method of helping these charities. Your support will make a
meaningful difference in the lives of those in need in our community.
The Endowment Committee
