The Perpetual Emigrating Fund Company, commonly referred to as the Perpetual Emigration Fund (PEF), was a corporation established by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) in 1849. The purpose of the corporation was to provide economic assistance to more than 30,000 individuals who sought to emigrate to the Salt Lake Valley and surrounding regions. In 1887, during a period of disenfranchisement for the LDS Church, the U.S. Congress enacted the Edmunds–Tucker Act, which disincorporated the LDS Church and the PEF company.

  • The Perpetual Emigrating Fund Company, commonly referred to as the Perpetual Emigration Fund (PEF), was a corporation established by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) in 1849. The purpose of the corporation was to provide economic assistance to more than 30,000 individuals who sought to emigrate to the Salt Lake Valley and surrounding regions. The PEF used both church assets and private contributions to aid impoverished converts to the LDS faith when they moved west. As funds were limited, converts seeking aid were ranked by their useful skills and by the duration of their membership in the church. Limits on funds led to innovative preparations and travel methods, including the establishment of handcart companies, to reduce expenses. Once established in their new homes, the converts were expected to repay the funds to the company in cash, commodities, or labor, with minor interest, so others could receive help. In 1887, during a period of disenfranchisement for the LDS Church, the U.S. Congress enacted the Edmunds–Tucker Act, which disincorporated the LDS Church and the PEF company. (en)
  • La Perpetual Emigrating Fund Company, comunemente noto come Perpetual Emigration Fund (in italiano fondo perpetuo per l'emigrazione) o con l'acronimo PEF, era una società fondata dalla Chiesa di Gesù Cristo dei santi degli ultimi giorni nel 1849. Lo scopo della società era di fornire assistenza economica a più di 30.000 individui che cercavano di emigrare nello Utah o nelle regioni circostanti. Il PEF usava sia beni della Chiesa sia contributi privati per aiutare economicamente i convertiti alla fede dei Santi degli ultimi giorni che desiderassero raggiungere le regioni dell'ovest. Poiché i fondi erano limitati, i convertiti che cercavano aiuto erano classificati in base alle loro abilità utili e alla durata della loro appartenenza alla Chiesa. I limiti dei fondi portarono a metodi di preparazione e di viaggio innovativi, tra cui la costituzione delle compagnie con carretto a mano, al fine di ridurre le spese. Una volta stabilitisi nelle loro nuove case, i convertiti restituivano quanto ricevuto dalla compagnia in denaro, beni o lavoro, corrispondendo inoltre un piccolo interesse, in modo da permettere ad altri di ricevere aiuto. Nel 1887, durante un periodo di rimozione del diritto di voto per la Chiesa dei Santi degli ultimi giorni, il Congresso degli Stati Uniti utilizzò l' per sciogliere la società. (it)
