HOW TO LEAVE A LEGACY
An endowment is a gift left to St. John the Baptist Catholic Education Endowment Fund (CEEF) or to St. John’s Catholic Community Foundation. CEEF is targeted toward our school and its operations, while the Community Foundation is designed to benefit our church’s other ministries and activities.
Endowments are invested permanently and prudently, with only the earnings from the fund being used. The principal of the fund is never touched. A gift given today would remain in the fund forever. If you gave $10,000 today to one of our endowment funds, in 100 years it would still be there growing and producing earnings to be used by the School or Church. A substantial endowment will allow St. John the Baptist to focus more on its ministries and Christian service in the Milwaukie area and relieve the pressure of day-to-day fundraising.
The goal of our two funds is to build a total endowment in excess of $10,000,000.
