Parish Endowments

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

A great way to support your parish is to create an endowment at the Catholic Foundation of Oklahoma. Endowments provide parishes 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 (Parish Name).”

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

A downloadable Gift of Stock form is available here. 

Online and downloadable Qualified Charitable Distribution forms are available here.

If your parish is not listed here and you would like to start a new endowment, please contact us. For more information, contact Owen Canfield at 405-709-2897 or ocanfield@cfook.org
