Lasting Legacy Gifts

 

Endowments

A school endowment is a dedicated fund established to provide long-term financial sustainability for a school. For Catholic education, these endowments are vital as they help sustain the mission of providing faith-based education and nurturing the spiritual, academic, and personal growth of students.

 

Managed by the Foundation of the Diocese of Charlotte, endowments are permanent, with the principal kept intact in perpetuity and invested to create a growing source of income. The endowment grows through additional gifts, income and capital appreciation.

 

If you are interested in supporting one of the endowments listed below or establishing a new endowment, please contact Camile Denhard at 704.370.3303 or via email at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..
