Endowment Trust Fund

The Endowment Trust Fund for Catholic Education (ETFCE) supports Catholic education by encouraging the creation of endowments and overseeing the investment of endowment funds.  Endowment funds preserve principal in perpetuity and use investment income to support Catholic schools, parish schools of religion and adult faith formation - a gift which keeps on giving! 

The ETFCE's Board of Trustees is a group of individuals with experience in business, investments, law, education, religious ministry and fund development. In 2007, the ETFCE attained a market value of over $13 million, and created a net income of over $1.5 million.  The ETFCE distributed almost half
a million dollars to 43 stakeholders.  In addition, the ETFCE makes grants to schools and Catholic education programs from an unrestricted endowment fund, and made $35,000 in such grants to 18 schools in 2007.

If you would like to support an existing endowment or create a new endowment to support Catholic education in perpetuity, please contact the Office of Stewardship and Development at (816) 756-1850.
