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 under the guidance of Fidelity Investments, the original gift continues to grow.

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 bought needed equipment for our pre-school and religious education programs, stipends for college students to serve as summer interns working with our parish youth programs, assistance to our refugee families relocating in the United States from Bosnia, and a grant to bring nationally-known speaker, Barbara Coloroso, to speak to parents at St. Noel on "Kids Are Worth It."

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.

We would be happy to answer any questions you might have concerning the St. Noel Endowment Fund or the options for contributing to it. Please call the parish office (440-946-0887) in order to contact a member of the Endowment Board.
