Smart Ways to Give

Endowed Gifts

An endowment gift to Central Catholic High School Foundation today provides a brighter picture for our future. When you make a donation to our endowment, you give a gift with both immediate and long-term benefits.

Endowment donations are invested. A portion of the annual income from the investment is used to address immediate needs at Central Catholic High School Foundation. The remaining funds are reinvested to ensure indefinite support.

An Example of How It Works

Longtime supporters Lucille and Aaron have two goals: First, they want to make sure Central Catholic High School Foundation continues to receive support after they're gone. Second, they want to memorialize Aaron's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Jones.

Lucille and Aaron make a $25,000 donation to Central Catholic High School Foundation, which we invest, and each year, a portion of the income from the invested money will be used to support our mission in honor of the Joneses. Plus, Lucille and Aaron qualify for a federal income tax charitable deduction on their taxes.
