In 2016 the Parish launched the Clayfield – St Agatha’s Parish Endowment Fund as an opportunity to secure long-term financial sustainability for vital parish ministries and programs.
The parish endowment is a fund which provides a distribution of earnings to the parish each year in perpetuity. Gifts to the endowment fund build the corpus and increase the annual distribution ensuring an ongoing stream of funding for future ministry that the annual budget may not normally meet. As the Fund grows through new contributions over time, greater support is available for the sacramental and community outreach work of the parish.
The Catholic Foundation manages the establishment and administration of endowment funds. Parish endowments are held under the Religious Ministry Fund which is a charitable trust established to protect these assets and maintain them permanently. Donations to the endowment fund are not tax-deductible however, every gift represents a way of ensuring the Good News of the Gospel continues to be shared for years to come.
Please consider helping our Parish Endowment grow. To make a non-tax-deductible donation to the Parish Endowment go online to http://catholicfoundation.org.au/ways-to-help/endowments/parishes/ and choose the Clayfield – St Agatha’s Parish Endowment from the drop down menu. Or contact the parish office for additional options.
Thank you!

Do you have a Family Trust? Did you know that making your weekly gift to the Parish through dividend income from your trust reduces your tax obligations? Additionally, these gifts are not counted against your family tax benefit payments. Contact your financial advisor for details on how you can save taxes and help build our Parish community at the same time.
