Ministry Endowments

The Catholic Foundation of Oklahoma is the steward of endowments that provide ongoing financial support to ministries in the Archdiocese of Oklahoma City.

Endowments provide ministries with an annual revenue stream, in perpetuity. An endowment can be created through a gift in your Will. The language can be quite simple. For example:

“This gift is to be used to create a new permanent endowment at the Catholic Foundation of Oklahoma to benefit (Ministry Name).”

You also can support your ministry with a Gift of Stock or a Qualified Charitable Distribution from a traditional IRA.

A fillable Gift of Stock form is available here. 

A downloadable Qualified Charitable Distribution form is available here.  

Please contact us to talk about establishing an endomwent to support the Church today and for generations to come. For more information, contact Owen Canfield at 405-709-2897 or ocanfield@cfook.org.
