BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — The Woman’s Missionary Union (WMU) Foundation recently received its largest gift to date of $1.7 million dollars, according to David George, president of the foundation.
The gift was received from the estate of Charles N. Burch after his death in September of last year. In his honor, the WMU Foundation established the Charles N. Burch International Mission Endowment, which will be used to fund international missions efforts.
The WMU Foundation is guided by a 17-member board of trustees and was created in 1995 to support the mission and ministry of national WMU. Through more than 120 funds and endowments, the WMU Foundation provides grants, awards and scholarships to further the work of WMU at every level — church, associational, state and national — as well as overseas.
