By including the Conference in your estate planning, you can ensure our elementary schools thrive with permanently funded teacher positions and sustain Mount Ellis Academy for generations to come.

Developing Sustainable SDA Elementary Education for the Future

The Elementary School Endowment is an investment in the long-term strength and stability of our schools. Our goal is to grow the endowment until it can provide funding equivalent to one teacher’s salary for every elementary school in the Montana Conference of Seventh-day Adventists.

Reaching that goal would make a meaningful difference each year. Endowment earnings would reduce the financial burden shared by both the local church/school and the Conference, freeing resources for ministries and operations. Just as importantly, it would provide greater stability when enrollment fluctuates, helping schools retain excellent teachers rather than making staffing decisions based solely on short-term changes in student numbers. It can also help make our campuses safer. For our smallest schools, dependable funding for an additional teacher can make it financially possible to have two adults on campus full time—providing greater support for students, teachers, and families.

A gift to the Elementary School Endowment is more than support for one school year. It is an investment that continues giving—helping keep teachers in classrooms, provide strong programs, and keeping SDA education accessible for generations to come.
