Elizabeth Bonham Fund:
The Elizabeth Bonham Mission Fund is one of the ways
that St. John’s is able to do mission work around the
world.
This money is a trust held by York Bank on behalf of
the Historical Society of York County, the Conservation
Society of York County, and the Rector,
Wardens, and Vestry of St. John the Baptist
Episcopal Church.
The income from the money held in trust is to be used
for "the advancement of the
Mission work of the Protestant Episcopal Church
at large."
In 1967, a meeting was held to determine how this money
would be handled by the parish. An Advisory Committee
was established to include the
Rector, Wardens, Secretary, and Treasurer of the
Bonham Fund. This committee receives all inquiries and
recommends to the Trustees appropriate action. The
Vestry meets in the spring and fall as the
trustees
of the Bonham Fund for the distribution of funds and
administration of the Fund.
The Trustees of the Elizabeth S. Bonham Mission Fund
meet twice a year, in early November and early May, to
review grant requests
received during the previous six months.
