Our Lady of Grace Endowment Heritage Society

Mission Statement:

The Our Lady of Grace Endowment Heritage Society celebrates individuals and families who have provided for the future of the parish, its Catholic school and other ministries through current, planned and estate gifts to our endowment program(s). 

Goal:

To encourage current, planned and estate gifts to the parish, preferably to one of the parish endowments, to ensure its future growth that will provide an increasing annual income to the parish, its school and other ministries.

Membership:

Society members are those who have made a significant gift in the past, or a current outright gift, to the Our Lady of Grace (OLG) Endowment Funds at or above $5,000. Members may also be those who have made a written disclosure of a planned or estate gift to the endowments (i.e. cash, stock, real estate, life insurance proceeds, gift annuities, personal endowment or foundation distribution).

There are currently 96 members in our Endowment Heritage Society and more than 700 contributors to one or more of the OLG Endowment Funds.
