To assist with compliance under the new NYPMIFA, the Trustees have designed this template as an aid for congregations that invest funds through the WNYDIT. The template will help a congregation sort out the appropriate investment diversification for their funds and an appropriation policy with respect to each fund.

All congregations must file an annual parochial report with both the National Church and the local diocese. Filing your report with the National Church is done electronically. Churches must also print and submit a signed copy of the report to the diocesan office in order to meet local canonical requirements for the seating of lay delegates to Diocesan Convention.

Mail your report to: Ms. Maria Manocchio, Episcopal Diocese of Western New York, 1064 Brighton Rd., Tonawanda, N.Y. 14150.

Preparation responsibility: The report is the joint responsibility of the Rector and Vestry of every parish and of the Vicar and Warden of every mission church (Canon 13, Paragraph 3).

Signatures: The report requires certification by all of the following:

• Rector/Vicar/Person in Charge
• Clerk of the Vestry/Council and
• Treasurer/Financial Officer

Extensions:
If you will be unable to complete your report by March 1, please contact Maria Manocchio at (716-881-0660 x18).

This Investment Policy Statement brings the Western New York Diocesan Investment Trust in accord with many of the new fiduciary requirements under the NYS Prudent Management of Institutional Funds Act (NYPMIFA) which has recently changed the law with respect to investment and appropriation of institutional funds, particularly endowed funds.
