For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” - Matthew 6:21
Have you thought about where your treasure will go? The Planned Giving and Stewardship Committee recently updated the endowment funds of the parish to make it easier for parishioners to leave a lasting legacy to St. Bartholomew Parish that reflects their faith and values. These endowment funds are listed below:
St. Bartholomew Capital Improvements and Maintenance Endowment
This endowment will provide funds for building and grounds improvement projects and maintenance at facilities of the St. Bartholomew Parish.
St. Bartholomew Total Education Endowment
This endowment will provide funds for grants to improve total Catholic education in Columbus. Potential recipients could include, but not necessarily be limited to, Adult Faith Formation, Children’s Ministry, Youth Ministry, Young Adult Ministry and St. Bartholomew Catholic School or any other St. Bartholomew Catholic Parish Educational program approved by the Pastoral Council or to be approved in the future.
St. Bartholomew Catholic School Endowment
The endowment will provide funds for the St. Bartholomew Catholic Parish School Ministry to fund ongoing operational support, provide long-term financial stability and to provide tuition assistance in the form of scholarships.
St. Bartholomew General Endowment
This endowment will provide funds for the general support of St. Bartholomew Catholic Parish.
An endowment is a fund invested to provide long-term support for a specific nonprofit organization in perpetuity. A portion of the fund is made available annually while the remaining assets are retained in the fund to provide for growth over time.
The four funds listed above are invested through the Catholic Community Foundation, Inc. (tax ID # 27-1924642) for the benefit of St. Bartholomew Catholic Parish. Gifts can be made with cash, securities or real estate.
