Certificates
The Georgia United Methodist Foundation's Certificate Program is an impactful investment opportunity that offers spiritual and financial rewards. As of December 31, 2021, we have $40 million in outstanding certificates.
The Foundation is offering the highest certificate rates in the last 10 years!
When you purchase 1-, 2-, 3- and 4-year certificates, your investment earns higher returns than similar instruments and enables the Foundation to underwrite loans to United Methodist churches and nonprofits in Georgia for new construction, expansion and renovation of existing facilities, purchase of building sites, and refinancing of other financial institutions’ loans. Please see the current rates below.*
March 2023 Certificate Terms and Rates
1-Year = 3.00%
2-Year = 4.00%
3-Year = 3.75%
4-Year = 3.50%
