As a family member or guardian of a child who was in Clubs in 2022, you may not have known it at the time, but you experienced the impact of the Montreat Fund! The Montreat Fund accounts for 13% of Montreat Conference Center's operating budget and helps pay for everything from salaries in the Program Office to the woodchips in Robert Lake Park. Without the Montreat Fund, the Clubs and Childcare program would not be possible and for that, we have our Montreat Fund Patrons to thank. If you're interested in making a tax-deductible donation and becoming a Montreat Fund Patron there are many Ways to Give, including by check, from a Donor Advised Fund, or through a stock transfer. You can also use the form on this page or visit montreat.org/givenow to make a gift online.
