An endowment is a meaningful way to honor a loved one or a saint or to provide enduring support for a parish, school or Catholic ministry within the Archdiocese of Oklahoma City. With a $50,000 minimum contribution, the fund will grow over time, providing continuous financial assistance to a cause you deeply care about.
$50,000 minimum initial gift.
Flexibility to specify a charitable focus.
Additional gifts can be made at any time, in any amount.
A portion of the earnings are distributed according to the spending policy established by the Catholic Foundation of Oklahoma Board of Directors.
The fund must be invested for a full fiscal year before an initial distribution is made.
The fund balance must be greater than the initial contribution for distributions to occur.
If the entity you have chosen to support undergoes changes or ceases to operate, the Catholic Foundation will reallocate the fund to a similar cause, ensuring that your charitable intent is preserved and continues to make a difference for future generations.
