The LAUMC Foundation exists to receive, manage, and grow legacy gifts with faithful stewardship so that Los Altos United Methodist Church can thrive in ministry — today and for generations to come.


The LAUMC Foundation strengthens our church’s future by stewarding legacy gifts and offering annual grants that support worship, music, family ministries, outreach, and the care of our campus. Because of the generosity of past and present members, these funds continue to make a lasting impact.
