Building the Future of Your Community Through Endowments
The Catholic Community Foundation is dedicated to empowering schools, parishes, and non-profits with the tools and expertise to grow and sustain their missions. One key way we achieve this is through our Endowment Drive Campaign, a comprehensive approach designed to educate, inspire, and support organizations in building their quasi-endowments.
Quasi-endowments are critical for ensuring long-term financial stability. They provide a sustainable source of endowment funding, allowing organizations to focus on their mission without securing day-to-day donations. Our partnership makes it easier to grow your endowment fund and foster a culture of giving within your community.
How the Endowment Drive Campaign Works
Matching Funds: A Commitment to Your Success
The Foundation offers up to $25,000 in dollar-for-dollar matching funds for first-year drives to show our dedication to building endowments. This generous match doubles the impact of your donors’ contributions and motivates your community to participate. (Terms and conditions apply.)
Professional Promotional Materials
Many donors are unfamiliar with what an endowment is or why it matters. That’s where our expertise comes in. We prepare tailored promotional materials to educate your community about the importance of endowments and how they secure the future of your mission. We offer resources designed to raise awareness, foster engagement, and make it easy for donors to contribute.
Engaging Community Information Sessions
Educating your community is key to building a successful endowment. We offer customized information sessions tailored to your audience: including parish events that align with your regular services and general sessions for schools and non-profits to empower donors to learn how their contributions make a lasting impact.
Donor Consultations and Tax-Efficient Giving
To maximize the potential of your donor base, we provide one-on-one consultations with your supporters. Our experts help donors create personalized charitable plans and explore tax-efficient giving strategies. This ensures that your endowment campaign not only meets its goals but also provides long-term value to your supporters.
