The Kittye Susan Trent Fund

Brochure (pdf)

Proposal Form (pdf)

The Kittye Susan Trent Fund was established at Second Presbyterian Church through the bequest by John B. Trent in loving memory of his beloved daughter, Kittye Susan Trent. The objective of the Fund is to supplement, enrich, enhance and augment stewardship resources in support of the Church's education missions.

In addition, funds may be used for operating support and/or equipment and facilities and/or for endowment. The Fund also seeks to enhance the educational opportunities available to church members through seminars, speakers and scholarship opportunities that complement the church's educational programs. In addition, the Fund may award grants to seminaries, colleges and universities, conferences, camps, centers and other institutions that offer Christian education. The Fund will not normally entertain requests for financial support from individual seminary students. The Fund, however, may grant funds to benevolent programs and projects, especially those with an experiential education component that takes seriously Christ's command to love one another and to help meet the needs of others.

A committee appointed by the Session meets quarterly the first week in April, June, September and December to consider uses and review requests for support and make disbursement recommendations to the Session.
