The purpose:
To supplement: Day School, Religious Education, Youth Ministry and Adult Education within
the parish. It is the intention of the Fund to make distributions starting in
January of the year 2000.
The financial strength of our Lady of Good Hope Day School, Religious Education Program, Youth Ministry and Adult Education relies on your generosity.
Even though our faculty and staff are doing an outstanding job of controlling expenses, tuition and fees account for only one fourth of the actual cost of operating these programs. The rest of the cost must come from parish funds and other sources. Our Lady of Good Hope Education Endowment Fund was established to assist these programs. The Endowment Fund must appeal to the community of Our Lady of Good Hope for financial help to assure that funds will always be available for educational purposes. Your tax-deductible donation is needed now to help Our Lady of Good Hope continue a tradition of academic excellence and strong moral training in all areas of education.
Your gift at any participation level is very important. Donations of $25.00, $50.00, $100.00 or more, when combined with the gifts of others, will make the difference in achieving our goal. Also, encourage your employer to match your donation. A bequeath in memory of loved ones is another method of donation and may have tax burden benefits. Please consider the Endowment Fund when setting up your will or perhaps changing your will.
The Endowment Fund has set up an account with Vanguard so that we can accept securities as well. This is a great way to divest your appreciated securities.
Please help our Endowment Fund succeed. Make your check payable to Our Lady of Good Hope Education Endowment Fund. Checks may be placed in the collection basket at all masses, dropped off at the parish office or mailed to Our Lady of Good Hope Education Endowment Fund, 7152 North 41st Street, Milwaukee, WI 53209.
Please don’t delay. Your investment in Christian Education is an investment in the future.
Good Bless Your Generosity.
Our Lady of Good Hope Education Endowment Fund
