Endowments

Endowment gifts sustain Eastside Catholic for the long term, providing critical financial support year after year.

An endowment is an invested donation that keeps the principal intact and uses assets from the return on investment to supplement the operating income of the school. A strong endowment provides Eastside Catholic with the opportunity to grow and innovate. One of our top priorities is to increase the endowment to ensure our economic vitality.

Endowed Scholarships begin at $25,000 and start distributing funds at $50,000
Gifts are invested to preserve the principal while funding tuition assistance and scholarships

Donors may continue to contribute to an endowed scholarship increasing the impact of the scholarship on the Eastside Catholic student body.
