Rosemary & Lou Oberndorf Endowment Fund
Purpose of this Fund:
Provides support for homeless programs and services offered by Catholic Charities Diocese of Venice, Inc. with a primary emphasis on those programs and services supporting homeless families and children within Sarasota County, Florida.
Why Support an Endowment Fund?
An endowment fund provides a source of annual income to the Catholic entity of your choice. Endowments are designed to function in perpetuity, because the original gift amount (the principal) is invested and the earnings are used to provide long-term financial support to a Parish, school, program or the ministry about which you care most. Once established, anyone can make additional contributions to the fund in any dollar amount.
Many endowment funds are created through gifts from wills or trusts, however, a significant number of donors choose to fund their endowments while they are still living so they can see the impact of their gifts. There are numerous ways to fund an endowment with the Foundation including gifts of cash, securities, property, distributions from retirement accounts and more.
