As of May 2022, Eder Financial, Inc. became the new name for the former Brethren Benefit Trust, Inc. As part of this rebranding, other names within the organization were changed as well. The former Brethren Foundation Funds, Inc. became Eder Organizational Investing, Inc.; and Brethren Foundation, Inc. became Eder Deferred Gifts, Inc. For a short period, visitors to the Eder Financial website may still find links, forms, and other references with the former names on them.
