each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for god loves a cheerful giver.

—2 Corinthians 9:7

Giving

We invite you to engage in the spiritual practices of generosity and service. We recognize that everything we have and all that we are is a gift from God, and, in turn, God entrusts us with sharing our blessings with our neighbors near and far. Through our acts of giving, we become the hands and feet of Christ. How can you do this? First, you can find ways to volunteer with our church's ministries and our mission partners.

Furthermore, your faithful financial support of the life and ministry of First Presbyterian Church supports in-person and virtual worship services, educational programs for all ages, fellowship activities, and the operation of our campus, which serves as a hub for both congregational and community outreach. We set aside 10% of our income to support local, national, and global mission partners who extend our reach of compassion, reconciliation, and empowerment.

leaving a legacy

Established in 1979, the First Presbyterian Church Foundation in Fort Collins provides its church members and their loved ones the opportunity to leave a living legacy by donating any part of their assets to a perpetual fund. The principal of the gift is retained, and the income or earnings are dispersed to support our church for generations to come.

  • Gifts to our Foundation are acts of hope for the future of our church! Through God’s grace and your generosity, our church will be well-equipped to serve others well into the future. Making a charitable gift to our Foundation is a meaningful way to give witness to your Christian faith and values as you help provide secure, stable funding for God’s work through our church.

  • Our dedicated Foundation Board carefully manages your tax-deductible gifts through investments, which currently total over $2 million and continue to grow. By donating to our Foundation’s perpetual fund, generous members like you continue to provide vital support for our church's ministries, missions, and vision.

  • Anyone can give a gift to the Foundation in any amount desired. There are many ways to do so. You may receive favorable benefits, such as lifetime income and tax savings. It is best to seek the advice of an attorney, financial advisor, or tax advisor before making a gift.

    • Outright Gifts may include cash, securities, real estate, and other personal property.

    • Planned Gifts are transferred to the Foundation after death. These gifts are arranged through wills, living and charitable trusts, estates, life insurance, or gift annuities. Gifts greater than $25,000 allow the fund to be named in honor of the loved one.

  • How your charitable donation is used is up to you! What are your passions? The parts of First Presbyterian Church that bring you great joy? What ways do you wish to support a program or ministry carrying out God’s work? Or do you have an idea you would like to see brought to life? Just a few examples of how our members’ charitable donations continue to benefit all of us at FPC:

    • Music—These gifts support our rich music ministry and beloved choirs by supplying sheet music and other needs.

    • Education—Each year, scholarships are awarded to our young men and women as they grow in their walk with Christ and enter college.

    • Children—In 3rd grade, every child at FPC receives their very own youth bible during a special worship service in which they are acknowledged and loved.

    • Columbarium—The columbarium courtyard provides families with not only a meaningful place to honor and remember loved ones but also a peaceful gathering spot.

    • Caring Ministries—Our newest endowment shares services, support, community, and love during times of grief, sickness, or distress.
