Trinity on the Hill established a Foundation in 2012 to provide opportunities for members and friends to leave a legacy that will perpetuate the church’s ministries and programs through donations, bequests and planned giving.
To date, the Foundation and associated Endowments have funded over $900,000 in projects, including $600,000 for campus beautification and preservation, $300,000 for music ministries, and 55 college scholarships.

Martha Selman Maxwell Scholarship Fund

In existence since 1988, this was the first endowment created at Trinity on the Hill
The mission of this endowment is to award college scholarships to deserving Trinity members
Applications for this scholarship are accepted annually from active Trinity members, and awarded after review by an appointed Scholarship Committee. Award criteria includes financial need, church involvement, academic record and community involvement.

Charles C. Stebbins, III Fund
Established 2023 as a legacy honorarium for Clay Stebbins in deep appreciation and gratitude for his extraordinary and sacrificial work that allowed Trinity on the Hill to complete the disaffiliation process
This endowment will be used to fund scholarships for seminary and law school candidates; this is meant to honor our history of church members who answer the call into full time ministry
