ST. JOHN'S CATHOLIC COMMUNITY FOUNDATION
GIVING TO THE ENDOWMENT
Background
The St. John’s Catholic Community Foundation was initiated by the efforts of four parishioners of St. John the Baptist Church, Milwaukie, Oregon in 2006. It is currently recognized as a tax-exempt charitable organization by the State of Oregon and the Internal Revenue Service. The founding individuals recognized the need to establish a mechanism to provide for the long-term financial well-being of St. John the Baptist Church and School, especially given the uncertainty that the recent Diocesan bankruptcy presented. The Foundation is an independent, charitable organization and is not under the control of the Portland Archdiocese. The Foundation is a stand-alone, parishioner-managed organization with the singular concern of furnishing perpetual financial support to St. John the Baptist Catholic Church and School.
