Parish funds ensure that parishes have the future income needed to support liturgical and faith-related programs, ongoing maintenance and capital improvements. Whether an endowment or a donor designated fund, these long-term investment vehicles generate perpetual income and provide financial stability for parishes.
In addition to a general parish endowment fund, donors also have established building and accessibility funds, as well as special interest funds supporting youth ministry programs, parish pro-life activities, and faith-formation efforts. Parishes with general and specialty funds provide donors with choices to support the future of their parish now with a gift of cash, appreciated stock or an IRA transfer gift, as well as later with a gift in a will, IRA beneficiary or insurance beneficiary.
