Estate Planning

In 1984, a group of community leaders recognized a need for an endowment fund for Newark Catholic High School. The Newark Catholic High School Foundation was established to ensure the future of Catholic secondary education in our area. A capital campaign raised over $500,000 in 1985, and over $400,000 was raised in 1989. With annual giving campaigns and the generosity of the community, the Foundation has accumulated cash and pledges of over two million dollars. Because of this generosity, The Newark Catholic High School Foundation has provided just over two million dollars to Newark Catholic since inception.

Personal estate planning is the most important planning you can do for yourself, your family, your church and your school.

The objective never seems to vary – leave as much of your estate as you can to the ones you love and as little to the IRS. Over the years, folks who do estate planning usually feel that charitable bequests should be a part of the process. Odds are that you’ve entertained the idea of contributing to or increasing your pledge to the Newark Catholic High School Foundation, only to have second thoughts due to a misconception that only large sums can make a difference.
