Endowment Fund - Reasons to Give

Parents, grandparents, friends, relatives and businesses donate to the Endowment Fund because they believe in Catholic/Christian educational goals. They also understand that the cost of education continually escalates creating a burden for young families that also believe in Catholic/Christian education but are restricted by the escalating costs.

The Endowment Fund goal is to help offset the costs of education, which will help give more families access to Catholic/Christian education.

People donate and become members because they understand the concept of a perpetual fund growing faster than inflation. The donations to the St. Paul Parochial School Endowment Fund grow the principal of the Endowment thus generating more income from interests that is disbursed directly to the St. Paul Parochial School to help offset operating expenses.

This perpetual fund will help benefit all generations in the future that are trying to access Catholic/Christian education. The Endowment Fund gives people who received a Catholic/Christian education in the past an opportunity to give back to the school as they realize others contributed to cover the costs of their education. Tuition historically has never covered the costs of education in Catholic/Christian schools.

Methods to help grow the Endowment principal include:

• Membership
• Bequests
• Insurance policies
• Memorials
• Stock funds
• Real property

Any valuable resource can be donated to the Endowment Fund creating a tax benefit for the donor and increase the value of the fund. The mailing address is:
