The giving model

Pick a cause. Give a little. Keep building.

A simpler path from your monthly generosity to an existing Catholic endowment. Here’s the experience we’re working toward.

01

Find a mission close to your heart.

Explore existing endowments in the participating foundation network. See what each fund supports and which foundation is responsible for it before choosing where to give.

02

Choose an amount that fits your life.

Start with the idea of $5, $10, or $25 each month. The planned giving flow will connect you to the receiving foundation and make its terms clear before you commit.

03

Let the foundation steward your gift.

Your donation goes to the foundation for the selected endowment. The foundation holds the funds, manages investments, and oversees distributions. EverCatholic does not perform those roles.

04

Stay connected to your generosity.

See your lifetime contributions and updates from participating foundations. Share the mission with family and friends so more people can take part in lasting support.

Consistency has a place here

A small monthly habit.
A growing lifetime of giving.

Explore what steady contributions can add up to. The preview counts your gifts only; it doesn’t estimate investment returns or promise a future distribution.

The planned giving view will bring together your contribution history and updates provided by participating foundations. The foundation remains responsible for the endowment itself.

A little, faithfully.

A few good questions.

What does “permanent giving” mean?

Giving to an endowment supports a fund designed to serve its mission over the long term. The receiving foundation administers the fund under its terms and spending policy. “Permanent” describes that purpose; it is not a guarantee of investment returns, fund value, or distributions.

Does EverCatholic hold or invest my money?

No. EverCatholic builds the discovery, recurring giving, and engagement experience. The receiving foundation holds and manages the endowment. We do not create the legal endowment structure.

Am I opening an investment account?

No. This is charitable giving to support an existing endowment. The planned lifetime giving view will show contributions and foundation updates, not a personal investment account or an amount you can withdraw.

Can I donate through this site today?

Not yet. EverCatholic is in development, and the giving preview does not collect payments. We’re inviting interested donors and foundations to help shape the launch.

What if my parish or school isn’t included?

Tell us which community you would like to support. We’re building relationships with foundations that administer existing endowments. Availability will depend on participating foundations and their funds.

What will the fees and giving terms be?

Those details are still being developed with potential foundation partners. The $5, $10, and $25 examples are proposed gift amounts; actual minimums and available funds will depend on the receiving foundation. Any fees, recurring gift controls, fund restrictions, and receipt details will need to be clear before you give.

Endowment terms vary by foundation. See the Catholic Foundation’s published fund terms and the Catholic Foundation of the Archdiocese of Santa Fe’s spending policy for examples. These references do not imply a partnership with EverCatholic.
