The Memorial Trust fund was established in 1964 to provide for the administration of gifts and legacies left in perpetual memory to Knox.
There are 9 capital funds, 8 of which have been established for specific purposes by the donors.
Throughout the rich history of Knox, the provisions of those who came before have ensured that the spirit of the Lord continues to flow through and emanate from our beautiful historic building and our vibrant congregation.
The investment income earned on the capital is available for distribution by the Trustees and has been dispersed to support many inreach and outreach Initiatives.
