Consolidated Fund
Available to every parish and organization in the Episcopal Diocese of Pennsylvania, the Consolidated Fund is a common trust fund similar in design and function to commercial trust financial institutions.
By pooling church and diocesan assets, the Consolidated Fund delivers a solid investment platform with collective power that offers greater opportunity for growth to all parishes and organizations in the diocese.
