GivingEndowment

The Endowment Funds for the St. Cecilia Congregation were established for the purpose of providing financial support for the long-term needs of the community. Contributions to the endowment are permanently invested, with the Congregation using a percentage of the fund’s average earnings.

Whether benefactors choose to make a gift to the endowment of cash or stock; a deferred gift through such vehicles as a will or bequest, IRA or other retirement fund; or through establishing a charitable trust, they can assist the Dominican Sisters in meeting tomorrow’s needs.

Education Endowment Fund

This fund has been established to provide long-term support for the education of the sisters.

Motherhouse Maintenance Endowment Fund

The recent renovation and expansion of the St. Cecilia Motherhouse has prompted the community to build an endowment to maintain the Motherhouse adequately.

Healthcare Endowment Fund

This endowment fund has been established for the purpose of providing supplemental support for this vital area of need. The expense of healthcare is the most costly item each year for the Dominican Sisters.

Retirement Endowment Fund

In a Congregation that is seeing such a large measure of growth, consideration for the future retirement needs of the community is essential. This fund has been established to provide support and care for the community’s retired sisters.
