St. Anthony Endowment Funds

St. Anthony Parish ensures that our church and school are here to serve the community for future generations by ensuring we have the financial ability to make this happen. To this end the Parish has established three endowment funds to provide for the long term financial stability of the parish and its ministries.

1. The Parish Endowment Fund was established to meet the needs of the entire
parish, its ministries and facilities, including the school.
   In November 2019 this fund was valued at $342,704.

2. The School Endowment Fund serves to meet the needs of St. Anthony
   School, its equipment and technology requirements as well as staffing.
   In November 2019 this fund was valued at $157,733.

3. The St. Anthony of Padua Cemetery Endowment Fund provides for the
   perpetual care of the grounds and to purchase additional land.
Our Cemetery is located in Jeffersonville at the corner of 8th & Main.
   In November 2019 this fund was valued at $349,031.

What is an Endowment Fund?

1. It is a pool of funds restricted and designated to be held in perpetuity.
2. The fund grows through new contributions and earnings.
No more than 5% is available for use annually from the endowment.
3. The funds may live forever and will help achieve long-term financial stability.
Why would one contribute to an endowment fund?
1. A donation to an endowment fund is a gift that will last forever and ensure
   financial stability for your parish for future generations.

2. Your contribution to an endowment ensures that St. Anthony’s has financial
   resources when they may be needed most.

3. A gift to an endowment fund is typically a planned gift. One of the most
   common ways is to leave a gift to one or more of St. Anthony’s endowment
funds in your will. A gift to an endowment can be given at any time.

4. Please pray and consider making a donation to any one of St. Anthony’s
endowment funds.
