Policies & Financials

The Foundation's mission is to improve lives and enrich communities by building long-term endowment funds through careful stewardship and prudent investment management.

Every donor has unique goals and values. To support these differences, we offer three investment pool options designs to align with your charitable priorities and long-term vision.

Investment Pool Options:

Vanguard Index Funds- Simple, Low-Cost, Diversified. Designed for donors seeking a straightforward, cost-effective approach, this pool invests 75% in equities and 25% in fixed income and cash. It is passively managed in low-cost index funds to track the broader market and focuses on long-term growth with minimal fees of about 3 basis points.

Catholic Values Pool- Faith-Aligned Investing. Designed for donors who wish to align their charitable assets with Catholic teachings, this pool follows faith-based investment guidelines consistent with those values. 

Outside Investment Manager Option ($25,000 min.) Donors may recommend a qualified financial advisor to manage their fund. This option offers flexibility and customization to align investment strategies with specific goals and risk preferences.
