About
Church Organizers Foundation is a nonprofit registered investment adviser that serves individuals (including high-net-worth clients), trusts and estates, pastors and school teachers, endowments, foundations, charitable trusts, and other businesses. It offers ongoing portfolio management and financial planning services along with cash flow, retirement, tax and estate planning, charitable giving advice, and occasional consulting engagements.
The firm emphasizes customized portfolio construction using fundamental analysis supplemented by technical analysis, with asset allocation tailored to each client’s goals and tax considerations. Portfolios are typically built with direct equities and fixed‑income securities for tax efficiency and lower fee layering, and COF accepts discretionary authority after clients execute a power of attorney.
What distinguishes the firm from many peers is its explicit stewardship focus for churches and charitable organizations: it provides trust administration when requested, offers reduced‑rate or pro‑bono stewardship and gift‑planning services to nonprofits, and uses a proprietary Ministry Map/Ministry Mapping Inventory for organizational consulting. The adviser operates on a small scale (managing under $10 million for a few dozen clients) and integrates ministry‑oriented stewardship principles alongside conventional investment management.

Not sure where to start?
We'll help you think it through—whether you ultimately need an advisor or not. Warmer helps you compare advisors clearly, so you can choose with confidence.
For advisor listings, we rely on sources including public filings and data provided by advisors, and we cannot guarantee that all information is current or accurate. Advisors are independent and may not have reviewed or updated this information. Please review an advisor’s Form ADV and do your own diligence before deciding whether to work with them.
Advisor matching and introductions are provided by FinanceHQ LLC (“FHQ”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Warmer and an SEC-registered investment advisor. We receive compensation from certain participating advisors for introductions or referrals. This creates a conflict of interest because we have an incentive to recommend advisors who compensate us, including those who pay us more. You pay no fee to use our matching service, and advisor fees are not increased because of a referral or introduction. We do not review the ongoing performance of advisors, manage or hold assets, guarantee performance, or provide advice about specific investments.
By using our service, you agree to our Terms of Service and Advisory Agreement, and acknowledge our Privacy Policy. Please review FHQ’s ADV Part 2A and Form CRS. Logos provided by Logo.dev
