Endowments and Expendable Funds

Funds

The Catholic Foundation for Diocese of Salina supports all aspects of the Catholic faith in the Diocese of Salina by developing, managing, growing and granting funds using Catholic values and honoring the donor’s intent.

The foundation offers both endowment and expendable funds for religious organizations and for private individuals who wish to start their own funds to support their favorite Catholic ministries.   

Endowment funds are funds in which the principal is perpetually protected while the earnings are used to support today’s needs. Expendable funds can be either short-term savings for a particular project or long-term savings for Catholic institutions and ministries.  Funds will be invested in the market to deliver competitive returns, while ensuring that they are invested in alignment with our Catholic values.
