St. Stephen the Martyr Endowment Trust
Funds
What is an endowment fund?
Endowment trusts are created for the purpose
of supplying support and benefit to the beneficiaries of the trust.
At St. Stephen the Martyr, trusts have been
established to benefit the church, school, religious education, scholarships,
youth ministry, and teachers' salaries.
Our trust fund documents state that only the
income earned on the fund is to be used for the support of the beneficiaries;
the principal is to be held to produce income for the future. Thus, your
gift to an endowment helps insure a strong and viable parish for generations to
come.
