The John Paul II School Music Endowment was established in November of 2012, by a generous gift from Tom and Jacque Schumacher. The interest from this fund will be used to help fund the music program at John Paul II Catholic School in perpetuity. Anyone may contribute to this fund, at any time and in any amount. Thank you for your support!
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, contact the Foundation office to set up an appointment by email at nfuhrer@ccfesd.org or by calling 605-999-9127.
