Under the signatures of 6 original board members and 7 incorporators representing the three local parishes, the Walla Walla Catholic Schools Endowment Association was established November 16, 1977. The Endowment's primary purpose is to provide regular and growing income to support education in Catholic Schools in Walla Walla County.
The operation of the Endowment is relatively straightforward. Funds are solicited and obtained, and invested. Distributions are made to the school system with income generated from the principal corpus of the fund. The primary objective is to grow the corpus over time to continue to provide a regular and growing source of income. The initial funding of the Endowment was able to provide approximately $13,000 to the school in its first year.
The fund has grown to nearly $10 million in value and provides approximately $450,000 in operating income to the schools annually. Accumlated distributions since inception total over $6 million.
