The PCA Foundation is a donor-driven foundation, facilitating generosity to advance God’s kingdom. As a ministry of the Presbyterian Church in America, the Foundation serves generous Christians through donor-advised funds and complex gifts. It also provides special services to congregations, such as online giving and designated funds. The Foundation continues to experience rapid growth due in large part to its significant expertise in facilitating the donation of non-cash assets such as private businesses, real estate, and appreciated securities.
In light of this growth, the Foundation is actively in search of hard-working professionals who want to use their skills to advance their careers and God’s kingdom. Discover current career opportunities at the Foundation here.
