Endowment - FIRE Foundation

Will you help us keep the flame of inclusion burning brightly for tomorrow’s children?

To ensure that FIRE is able to grow and support inclusive education for generations to come, the Board of Directors has established the FIRE Foundation Endowment. It’s like a 401(k) for FIRE. Our five-year goal is to build a $1 million Endowment fund. Your donations to this investment are never “spent”; over time, interest income will ensure FIRE’s long-term capacity to carry on our special mission.

Your gift or pledge will strengthen our ability to welcome children of ALL abilities to Catholic schools for years to come. Your gifts to the endowment offer a wide range of valuable tax advantages and will be professionally invested and managed so the fund continues to grow.

Your gift or pledge to the FIRE Foundation Endowment can be in the form of:

Cash

You can make a gift to honor a loved one, living or deceased. Make a donation online (indicate that it’s earmarked for the endowment fund); send a check or call us with your credit card number. You may also use your donor-advised fund.

Securities

Giving securities such as stocks, bonds or mutual funds that have increased in value may help you reduce taxes and conserve cash.

Bequests

Give notification of a bequest in your will or living trust. Make a gift to FIRE part of your long-range estate and financial plans.

Insurance

Simply designate the FIRE Endowment as a beneficiary in your insurance policy.

Additional ways to give

...and ensure that FIRE lights the way for future generations:

Qualified Charitable Distribution from a retirement account.
Bank or investment accounts.
Charitable remainder trusts.
Charitable gift annuities.
