Major Foundation ministry underway to assist the local church in teaching biblical stewardship, emphasizing stewardship of estate assets.  > Learn more

Welcome to the Baptist Foundation of Alabama’s website. We hope you find the new design helpful in providing useful stewardship, estate planning, and planned giving information. The Foundation was formed in 1940 to serve as the trust agency for the Alabama Baptist Convention. Since those early days, the Foundation now manages over $230 million in assets for individuals, churches, and Baptist entities.

In January 2005, The Foundation launched a major new initiative to partner with the local church in providing information and opportunities for teaching stewardship of estate assets. Since that time, more than $138 million in assets have been planned for ministry with more than 75% designated for the local church. When God’s people understand that planning their estate is an act of stewardship, they act. We hope the information you find here will be helpful as you plan your estate or as your church decides to add this important avenue of stewardship training to the church's educational ministry. Please feel free to give us a call or email tbfa@tbfa.org.
