The support of individuals, congregations and private foundations enabled SICM to pay off the mortgage in just two years. The fund will provide financial reserves and meet cash-flow needs, provide income to sustain ministry and provide resources for new ministries and challenges. The fund was established with donations of GE and Lockheed-Martin stocks and with initial contributions from individuals and congregations, which are always welcome. It is eligible for GE matching. The SICM Development Committee, chaired by John Assini, continued to plan for ways to broaden SICM's support.
Private foundations are also important funding sources.
Special thanks go to congregations that were sites for SICM ministries.
