Central Presbyterian Church Mission Funds and Partners

Extending Christ's Love to the World!

The Lena Willis Mission Endowment Fund
The Lena Willis Mission Endowment Fund was made possible by the bequest of Lena Willis in 1994. The proceeds of the gift are restricted for the benefit of mission causes, which include homelessness in New Jersey. Applications are received in October of each year. After careful review by the Commission, the amounts awarded are finalized in December. Awards have a three-year cycle. The Finance Commission works with the Mission Commission to help determine the amount of the award available each year. The award amount is separate from the annual budgeting process.
