Changing the World through Socially Responsible Investing
Established in 1909, United Church Funds helps churches and faith-based organizations make socially responsible investments (SRI) that improve the world we live in and reflect our shared values.
As part of our efforts, we work with ecumenical leaders and like-minded investors to actively address the environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues that make sustainable capitalism possible. We do this by:
- Investing in companies that operate responsibly and sustainably
- Providing a family of diversified funds managed for prudence and performance
- Observing the legal guidelines that govern faith-based institutional endowments
Aligning Purpose with Performance
Acting as the institutional investment ministry of the UCC, United Church Funds offers a family of expertly managed, well-diversified funds that blend values-aligned investments with competitive performance. We currently manage over $1B in assets from ministries across the investment spectrum – from small church reserve accounts to some of the denomination’s historic endowments.
As a trusted investment partner, we offer UCC churches and ministries the following advantages:
Investing with United Church Funds gives churches and UCC ministries access to the team, services, resources and modern portfolio management that adhere to – and build on – the values of the United Church of Christ. By seeking to align strong investment performance with our shared purpose, we make money more available for your ministry.
