Support Catholic Education with an Endowment
The Catholic Foundation of Oklahoma is dedicated to securing the future of Catholic education by managing endowments that provide lasting financial support to schools throughout the Archdiocese of Oklahoma City.
A Simple Way to Make a Lasting Impact
Creating a school endowment can be as simple as including a gift in your Will. Here's an example of the straightforward language you can use:
"This gift is to be used to create a new permanent endowment at the
Catholic Foundation of Oklahoma to benefit [insert school name]."By planning your gift today, you ensure that your legacy lives on, providing continuous support to the school you care about most.
Other Ways to Support Your Catholic School
In addition to creating an endowment, you can contribute to an existing endowment or make a direct gift through:
- Gifts of Stock: A gift of appreciated stock can benefit both you and your school, allowing you to support education while maximizing your tax benefits.
A downloadable Gift of Stock form is available here.
- Qualified Charitable Distributions (QCDs): If you are 70 1/2 or older, you can make a tax-free gift directly from your IRA, providing crucial support to your Catholic school.
Online and downloadable Qualified Charitable Distribution forms are available here.

Your generosity today will help shape the future of Catholic education for years to come.
