Creation Care Endowment Fund
Through the Catholic Community Foundation of the Archdiocese of Indianapolis, a new endowment has been launched to support projects focused on the care of God’s creation at our parishes, schools, and agencies.
As the fund grows, annual distributions will allow recipients to implement projects of all sizes on their campuses that advance environmental sustainability in areas such as energy savings, habitat preservation, building weatherization, clean energy and more.
Consider giving to this endowment through reoccurring gifts, one-time donations, or other planned giving avenues.
