Endowment
The Saint Stephen’s Charitable Endowment was established as a perpetual fund to support the ministries of our parish. The fund is prudently invested by the Endowment Committee with the goal of preserving the capital and generating annual income for Saint Stephen’s for generations to come in support of:
Special Programs and Projects in the Church
Outreach
Capital Projects
Since the SSEC Charitable Endowment Fund is a separately incorporated 501(c)3 organization, gifts to the Endowment Fund are likely to generate estate, gift, and income tax benefits. In addition, the endowment can be the beneficiary of IRA rollover accounts and life insurance. You may also gain tax advantages through the donation of stock or other financial assets to the endowment.
The Endowment is not designed to replace your annual gifts and pledges but to provide an opportunity for additional special gifts and as a way to honor the life and legacy of loved ones.
We hope you will consider making a gift!
