The endowment is contributed to by the parish in many ways. Modes of giving are:

• Donations: The easiest way to add to the endowment fund is through donations, whether of ones own will or a second collection at mass.
• Will/Estate Gifts: Giving a share or all of your property/life insurance would be a method to add to the parish endowment fund.
• Securities/Assets: You can give through stocks, bonds, or mutual funds that are then valued and that value is placed in the endowment fund.
