Foundation Savings Rates Among Highest in the Country; only $500 to invest

The Rocky Mountain United Methodist Foundation continues to pay interest rates higher than national, local and state banks and credit unions.

And now the Foundation has lowered the minimum investment required for this powerful Methodists Helping Methodists Fund. Starting at $500 for Demand Accounts and $1000 for Term Certificates, investors can enjoy these high rates of return:

Investors can take part in an investment that earns higher than average interest while providing seed money for competitive loans to United Methodists churches in Colorado, Wyoming, Utah and Montana. This enables United Methodist Individuals, Churches and Groups to live out God’s unique call for serving by connecting faith and money.

Since 1960, the Methodists Helping Methodists Fund (originally the Church Extension Loan Fund) has never had a default and continues to help provide support for churches through loans, while also giving individuals an opportunity to be faithful stewards of God’s financial blessings.
