Endowment Funds

Create a legacy of faith and service with an Endowment Fund. By establishing lasting financial support for Catholic parishes, schools, or ministries, you can ensure your values resonate for generations. These funds provide annual income for the causes you care about most and offer tax advantages while making a lasting difference. Imagine how your generosity can sustain the missions closest to your heart.

Scholarship Funds

Transform lives through education with a Scholarship Fund. Your support can help deserving students in Catholic schools or specific fields of study achieve their dreams. Whether you create a new scholarship or contribute to an existing one, these funds open doors for students to thrive, guided by Catholic values. See how scholarships turn hope into opportunity and help shape the future.

Donor Advised Funds

Empower your giving with purpose and flexibility through a Donor Advised Fund (DAF). More than a tax-efficient, personalized way to support your favorite causes, a DAF is a tool for making a meaningful impact. Starting with $5,000, you can support multiple Catholic or public organizations, enjoy tax-free growth, and involve your family in a shared legacy of generosity. Curious about the difference DAFs can make?
