CONSOLIDATED FUND

Logo of The Church Foundation, featuring a yellow cross with three crowns, encircled by red and blue, labeled "Incorporated 1926."

Open to all parishes and organizations within the Episcopal Diocese of Pennsylvania, the Consolidated Fund functions as a common trust fund, similar to those offered by commercial financial institutions.

By pooling church and diocesan assets, the Consolidated Fund provides a strong, professionally managed investment platform that leverages collective resources to maximize growth opportunities. This structure allows even the smallest parish to benefit from institutional-quality investment management, cost efficiencies, and long-term financial sustainability. Through prudent oversight and strategic asset allocation, the fund helps provide financial security across the diocese, supporting the mission and ministries of its churches and institutions.
