The Joseph E. Weston OCF Public Foundation is generously offering an opportunity to build our Endowment with a substantial matching grant.
How can you help make a match?
A gift to the Endowment Fund is a gift to future generations and will ensure that Catholic education at Our Lady of Lourdes remains available and affordable for the children of our community.
Once fully funded the Endowment will provide a source of income to offset the rising cost of education. A healthy Endowment Fund is the best insurance for the future financial stability of our school and the accessibility of Catholic education for students yet to come.

We invite all who are interested in investing in the future of Catholic education to help build Our Lady of Lourdes School Endowment Fund by making a bequest in their will or through other forms of planned giving. By leaving a bequest in your will to your favorite charities, you will create a legacy that will last for years to come.
As always, anyone can support the Our Lady of Lourdes School Endowment Fund by simply dropping a check in the mail to OLL School with "Endowment" on the subject line or by using the pink envelopes in the Sunday offering and marking them as "Endowment." Donations and pledges can also be made through the Angels for Education Annual Giving Campaign by cash, check, or Visa/Mastercard.
Golf enthusiasts can also help fund the endowment by participating in our annual golf tournament. Proceeds from the tournament contributed over $68,000 to the Endowment in the first 5 years.
Employee Matching Gifts can also be directed to the endowment fund. To find out if your company offers a matching gift program visit your Human Resources Department. This is an excellent way to double the amount of your gift to the school.
