The St. Joan of Arc Foundation was established to preserve the future of the parish. The goal of the Foundation is to assure that future generations of Catholics will have the spiritual and educational benefits and advantages that have been a tradition since the founding of our parish.
The Foundation accepts gifts from parishioners and friends interested in the present and future of St. Joan of Arc Parish. The gifts that are received will be held in trust perpetually and invested prudently and safely for the future. Only the net income or interest earned on those gifts will be used by the Foundation. This system will assure the parish of an ongoing source of income for the Foundation.
The Foundation will administer two separate funds: The Parish Endowment Fund and the School Endowment Fund. Donors will be able to select which fund they would like their gifts to be directed to. In addition, donors may also select specific areas within the Endowment Fund they choose to have their gift support. Other programs of interest to donors should be discussed with the Director of Development.
As the assets of the Foundation grow each year, so will the annual interest earned. This interest will enable the parish to not only sustain the many valuable programs of the parish and school, but to develop and expand those programs to meet future needs.
