We are called to be good stewards of our property, buildings, programs, and services. This includes securing the necessary funds to cover today’s expenses, as well as building capacity for future growth. Endowments are critical to the long-term survival of parishes, schools, and charitable organizations because they provide a permanent and stable source of income over time.

The table above represents the key value and purpose of an endowment. As time goes on, endowments aim to close the gap between expenses and the amount of donations needed to break even on an annual basis. As the endowment balance grows, fewer donations are needed to sustain your operations. The sustainability and predictability of the endowment income is high, while the amount of donations each year is unpredictable and subject to economic and social factors outside of the control of the nonprofit. This inconsistency can lead to shortfalls and potential disruption to the mission.
“I absolutely believe in the value of perpetual endowment investing... Mt. Claret has seen the value {of endowments} and has since established two other perpetual endowment funds with the Catholic Community Foundation. All three of our funds continue to grow and replenish the needs of our organization while giving our community a way to show their love and support back to Mt. Claret."
