Support Your Parish Today, Tomorrow, and Forever

Every parish in the diocese of Columbus has an endowment fund that The Catholic Foundation manages.  An endowment fund is a longer-term, sustained investment that provides a perpetual source of income that helps support the general needs of the church outside of the weekly offertory.  You can contribute to your parish’s endowment fund in any amount, at any time.
