​The Rothermel Foundation was originally funded by a bequest from Amel Rothermel of New Bern. The endowment is administered as a fund of First Presbyterian Church of New Bern. The Foundation is governed by an ecumenical Board of Trustees, appointed by the Session of First Presbyterian Church in consultation with the ministers of congregations represented on the Board. Contributions to the endowment are accepted from the public.
