The Fred and Joan DeRouchey Family Thanksgiving Endowment was established in February of 2012.
The interest from this endowment will be used to support many ministries across the Diocese, including
John Paul II School. Anyone may contribute to this fund, at any time, and in any amount. Thank you for sharing your legacy of faith!
An endowment fund is a perpetual fund, created by charitable donations in the form of cash, stocks, mutual funds, real property, or other personal property given to the Foundation. The practice of investing the principal, rather than spending it, creates a perpetual fund. Most of an endowment’s annual earnings are distributed to the designated benefactors, in this case, John Paul II School. Endowments provide a “forever-giving” funding source for Catholic programs and activities. A gift in your will could establish an endowment and a lasting legacy for you, your family, and benefactor.
If you would like information on how you can leave a lasting legacy for yourself or a loved one, call the MCF office to set up an appointment at 605-999-9127.
