 <link>http://www.thelcf.org/endowments/endowment_fund_roundtable_blog/marketing_the_endowment_roles_and_responsibilities</link>
 <description>&lt;p align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;One of the biggest challenges in marketing a congregational endowment is deciding “who does what.” It’s an important question because the person or group delivering a message can have a large influence over how the message is received. You can find information on this and other topics related to marketing your endowment in our &lt;a href=&quot;/pdf/congendowmentguide.pdf&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; title=&quot;Congregational Endowment Guide&quot;&gt;Congregational Endowment Guide&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
