Bishop Dewane Endowment Fund for the Poor
The fund provides support to the poor within the Diocese of Venice in 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.
To donate by check, please make the check payable to the Catholic Community Foundation of SW Florida and write “Bishop Dewane Fund for the Poor” on the memo line. Please mail the check to: Catholic Community Foundation of Southwest Florida, 1000 Pinebrook Rd, Venice, FL 34285
