Partnership Endowment Tops $1Million!
The Missionary Oblate Partnership Endowment, thanks to a $1 million gift from a fellow Partner, now has over $1,250,000 in funds that are set aside to aid the US Province of Oblates in making supporting grants to their brother Oblates around the world. Each year the Oblates of the US receive several requests from OMI communities across the globe, asking support for needs that range from basic human development projects (clean water, medicines) to schools and seminary training for Oblate vocations.
More information will be shared with Partners about how the Partnership Endowment will operate, now that funds have reached a level that will enable the making of several small supporting grants.
Partners are also helping us plan for the Endowment’s future growth, too! There is nearly $1 million in additional funds that are committed to be added to the Endowment via bequests and charitable trusts set up and made known to us by individual Partners. Please consider making a will or trust-designated grant to the Partnership Endowment yourself. Contact Artie Pingolt with any questions.
