Did you know that St. Columba has an Endowment Fund that benefits our music programs? Established in 1999 with a gift from a parishioner the Endowment Fund has continued to grow. This endowment helps ensure the support and expansion of our music ministry programs. The Planned Giving Committee's primary goal is to increase awareness of advanced giving opportunities. Some examples of these opportunities are gifts of interest in retirement plans, gifts of life insurance, and gifts created through a Christian Last Will that provide for endowments in support of Adult Religious education, Youth ministries, Evangelization and more. The Committee will seek to educate interested donors in the value of planned gifts that create an enduring legacy to meet the current and future demands of a growing parish.
