There are many advantages of using the Catholic Foundation of Southwestern Michigan to set up new or contribute to already exisiting funds. These include:
The convenience of using a single source to support parishes, schools, and Diocesan ministries.
Expert assistance and advice tailored to donor’s personal needs and interests.
Managed by the Michigan Catholic
Conference in Lansing, our local portfolio is invested only in socially and morally responsible securities.
Named Funds in the Foundation enable individuals or families to honor loved ones while building a lasting legacy of their faith.
Income is available for distribution following valuation of the Foundation assets, per the Foundation’s Distribution Policy.
Assets placed into a fund are held in trust by the Foundation and are no longer available for use by the donor.
In addition to generating annual income for Diocesan parishes, schools, and Catholic entities, the Foundation is a public testament to the Diocese’s commitment to ensure its future financial security.
