The Master’s Fund was inaugurated at the Order’s Triennial Convention in 1922 as a Thank Offering to be given at Pentecost in loving commemoration of the coming of the Holy Spirit.

Originally the Master’s Fund was intended to assist some Daughters or other women to attend a Church Training School to prepare for missionary or other church-related work. Now the emphasis is on the background and intended church-related career of the applicant so that attendance at any accredited college, university or graduate school is permitted.

The number and size of grants is restricted to the amount actually in the fund when applicants are reviewed. The Master’s Fund name was changed to Ministry Education Fund at the 2024 Triennial Convention in Lexington, Kentucky. Mission and Outreach Fund Mission and Outreach Fund The Lily Funsten Ware Memorial Fund, known as the “Self-Denial Fund,” was created by resolution adopted at the convention held in Washington, DC, in 1897.

Miss Lily Funsten Ward, a Daughter of the King and a missionary in China, asked that a day be set aside for the celebration of Holy Communion with special intention for the Church in China.

In compliance with this request, it was resolved that a Self-Denial Week be observed every year, that the amount thus obtained be added to the already in and (referring to $100,000 which was given by Miss Ward’s friends to be used as a nucleus for a missionary fund) and known as “The Lily Funsten Ware Memorial Fund” to be used always for the maintenance of a missionary in China from the Order of the Daughters of the King.

When missionaries were excluded from China, the Fund was used for the Order’s missionaries wherever needed. At a subsequent convention held in September of 1922 in Portland, Oregon, a resolution was adopted setting aside February 2, the Feast of the Presentation of Christ in the Temple, as a special day for the Self-Denial Fund of the Daughters of the King.

The name of the Self-Denial Fund was changed to Mission and Outreach fund at the 2024 Triennial Convention in Lexington, Kentucky. At the present time this fund is supporting missionary efforts both within and outside the continental boundaries of the United States. We continue to explore new and exciting opportunities to add to our established missionary activities.
