SHORT HISTORY OF COMMITTEE
The Meeting House Trust Funds Committee of Philadelphia
Yearly Meeting is responsible for the administration of both the
Samuel Jeanes Trust Fund and the Charleston Fund. Both funds assist
meetings in the acquisition, repair and restoration of meeting houses
and their grounds.
The Jeanes Fund is limited to meetings within Philadelphia
Yearly Meeting. It was established from a gift of the Estate of
Samuel Jeanes to Philadelphia Yearly Meeting (Hicksite) in 1899, "to
aid in the repair and construction of meeting houses." The Charleston
Fund is available to meetings elsewhere in the world. The basis of
the Charleston Fund was the income from the property of Society of
Friends in Charleston, South Carolina, which was granted to
Philadelphia Yearly Meeting in the 18th century and again in
1813.
In 1992, the Meeting House Trust Funds Committee became a subcommittee of the Arch Street Property and Use Committee.
When Yearly Meeting was restructured in 1996, the name of the Meeting House Trust Funds Committee was changed to the
Meeting House Trust Funds Granting Group.
