Your Gift Can Last Forever
An endowment fund to The Catholic Foundation today provides a brighter picture for our future Church. When you make a donation to an endowment, you give a gift with both immediate and long-term benefits.
Endowment donations are invested. A portion of the annual income from the investment is used to address immediate needs of the beneficiary or beneficiaries of the endowment. The Foundation creates the endowment, invests and manages it for the long-term benefit of your parish or other ministries. The remaining funds are reinvested to ensure indefinite support.
An Example of How It Works
Longtime supporters of The Catholic Foundation, Charlie and Susan have two goals: First, they want to make sure The Foundation continues to receive support after they are gone. Second, they want to create a lasting legacy for Charlie’s parents.
Charlie and Susan make a $25,000 donation to The Foundation, which we invest, and each year, a portion of the income from the invested money will be used to support the beneficiaries of the endowment you named, e.g., your parish or a ministry. Plus, Charlie and Susan qualify for a federal income tax charitable deduction on their taxes.
