Statement of Fiduciary Responsibility
UMHEF’s fiduciary structure reflects the highest standards of nonprofit governance, with the Board of Trustees holding ultimate responsibility for the Foundation’s operations and endowment, supported by committee oversight and executed through staff leadership. At the same time, our work is shaped by our identity as a ministry connected to the United Methodist Church. Fiduciary responsibility, for us, is not only legal and financial, it is also spiritual and relational. Grounded in the stewardship teachings of John Wesley, we understand resources as held in trust for the sake of others. This means we are accountable not only for sound financial management, but for faithfulness to mission, donor intent, and the formation of students and leaders for the Church and the world.
