Episcopal Fund

A bishop's task is noble and practical. United Methodist bishops oversee and promote the church's spiritual interests. The Episcopal Fund apportionment provides economic support for these diverse and important tasks.  Nurtured and funded by United Methodists, the Episcopal Fund apportionment pays bishops' salaries.  It also pays Episcopal office expenses, subject to approval by the General Council on Finance and Administration.  It reimburses 67 percent of the costs for Episcopal residences.  Provides pension and health benefit coverage for bishops and their families and disability coverage for bishop.  Covers the cost of Episcopal travel and defrays moving expenses.  Provides pensions for retired bishops and surviving spouses, and minor children of deceased bishops.
