Trinitarian Evangelical Distribution Guidelines

Sixty percent of the annual distributions from the Trust are to be made for the benefit of Trinitarian Evangelical activities. Fifty percent of the annual distributions will be made for the benefit of Trinitarian Evangelical organizations in the Savannah, Georgia, area while ten percent of the annual distributions will be made for the benefit of Trinitarian Evangelical organizations in the Coatesville Pennsylvania, and other areas.

The Chester County Court has decreed that the phrase “Trinitarian Evangelical activities”, as used in Mr. Huston’s will, includes activities carried on by Protestant churches (other than Unitarian churches) and affiliated or related organizations which follow the Christian Gospel, including dissemination of the Christian Gospel and exemplification of Christian principles through social welfare and other charitable endeavors.

The court further rules that dissemination of the Christian Gospel includes activities such as preaching and conducting services, offering religious instruction, and distributing religious literature. Exemplification of Christian principles includes activities such as providing food and shelter to the homeless, maintaining orphanages, operating hospices, and conducting drug and alcohol abuse prevention and rehabilitation programs.

Deadlines for applications are April 1st and October 1st.
