Are you retired clergy, a spouse, or widow of a retired clergy person experiencing a financial challenge?
You may qualify for funds available through The Conference Claimants' Endowment Board’s Shepherd Fund. Examples of financial challenges include, but are not limited to, hearing aids, vision assistance, natural disaster relief, funeral costs, extraordinary dental work, or unforeseen relocation costs.
Asking for help can be difficult for those who have chosen a life of service and selflessness, but the hope is that those who qualify will see the Fund as a blessing. The Fund is confidentially administered by the Conference Board of Pensions office.
If you or someone you know is interested in accessing the Shepherd Fund, please reach out to the Conference Board of Pensions office for more information at 916-913-1049.
Jenny Copello serves as the Development Coordinator and Executive Assistant for The Endowment Board.
