Endowment Management & Goals

The Endowment is overseen by the Principal of Saint Patrick Catholic School and the School Commission. Administrative and School Commission oversight is in partnership with the Pastor, Pastoral Associate for Administration, and Pastoral Council review.

The Endowment is managed through the Fulcrum Foundation by Mercer, a global consulting partner that provides investment analytics, research, and guidance. Mercer is dedicated to helping endowments and foundations not only realize higher risk-adjusted returns but also fulfill a higher mission.

The annual distribution for tuition assistance from the Endowment is a 4.5% return on investment. Currently, the Endowment is $1.4M and funded by alumni contributions and community partners.
