You can support this transformative work now and into the future by creating or contributing to an endowment fund.
Endowment Funds
An endowment is a type of fund held by an organization that supports the work of an organization through the fund’s earned interest.
All endowed funds will be invested in accordance with Catholic Charities investment policies and may be reinvested as circumstances dictate or present themselves.
To discuss contributing to an existing endowment or even begin a new one, please reach out to the Chief Advancement Officer at BReimerBaum@CCharitiesCC.org or (719) 866-6440. Please note, a minimum gift amount applies to endowed funds.
A permanent investment, called a principal or corpus, initiates the fund. Once the principal has been established, the organization spends a certain amount of the interest that is earned from the principal. Generally, the principal of an endowment is a permanently restricted contribution and cannot be spent or dissolved, thus creating continued income for the organization and lasting impact on the community.
The income from investments will be used to benefit agency services in accordance with donors’ wishes and the laws of the State of Colorado, and/or as decided by the board of directors.
Currently, Catholic Charities owns one open-endowed fund – the Case Management Endowment – benefitting the case management and life coaching programs of Catholic Charities of Central Colorado.
