The purpose of the St. Robert's Parish Endowment Fund is to provide support for the general Mission of the parish. Endowment Funds enhance the financial stability of the parish for the future. The Fund has been specifically established as a Catholic legacy to support the general Mission of the Church and to provide an opportunity for parishioners to make a lasting gift to the parish. The endowment is designed to grow 4% each year and yield 3% in dividends. The dividends are given annually to the parish to help with operating expenses and the principle is never touched.
Many parishioners find that remembering their parish in their Will or Estate Planning is a significant way to thank the Lord for all of life's blessings. The Church has been part of your life since Baptism and the significant events throughout your adulthood. In leaving a legacy to our Parish Endowment Fund, you will continue to be a part of the future of the parish. A planned gift will help build the endowment for future needs of our Parish Endowment Fund and parishioners for generations to come.
ASSETS YOU CAN USE TO MAKE A PLANNED GIFT:
Cash
Checks
Stocks
Property
Other Assets
This is a great way to invest in the future of our parish! Donors can give during their lifetime, or later, through a bequest; through a charitable gift annuity or a charitable remainder trust. Donors may determine how their gifts are distributed by indicating what area they wish to support. Donors are also encouraged to consult their attorney when preparing or amending their Wills or Estate Plans. Donations may also be made in memory of a loved one.
Envelopes are available at the back of the Church for use in making a donation by cash or check.
