Individual donors or Catholic Organizations can establish Catholic Organization Endowment Funds. The Foundation provides basic planned giving services to the organization to help attract additional gifts. Catholic Organization endowments are property of The Foundation and are managed in accordance with FASB 136. This type of fund is not appropriate for operating reserves; as it is a true endowment fund and the principal is perpetually restricted. These funds bring investment economies of scale, expertise and reduced fund management costs to the organizations.
