St. Noel Parish Endowment Fund is a tax-exempt corporation whose purpose is to sustain the future needs of St. Noel Parish. Funds generated from gifts given to the fund will be used exclusively for the educational, pastoral and social concerns needs of the parish.

The fund was established in 1997 with a initial gift of $60,000. Through additional gifts and careful investing the original gift continues to grow. As of 2010, funds are held in investment accounts at American Funds.

Each year the Board of the Endowment Fund will determine a certain percentage of the interest of the fund to be given for special projects at St. Noel.

Grants given to St. Noel have benefited various programs at St. Noel including "GIFT" (Generations In Faith Together) and Parish Youth Programs.

Bequests can be made to the Endowment Fund under the direction of a will. A memorial gift can be made in memory of a deceased loved one. Gifts can be offered in the form of cash or through appreciated assets which often result in immediate tax deductions.

Currently St. Noel is undertaking a "50 Wills Campaign" to increase the number of people who are remembering St. Noel. in the wills. To learn more about our campaign please click here.
