Dear Friends,
I hope this message finds you well and having a blessed Lenten season.
I am thrilled to share some exciting updates with you. First, I am delighted to announce that the Catholic Community Foundation for Eastern South Dakota achieved a remarkable 13% return on investments in 2024—all while ensuring that none of our investments conflict with Catholic teachings. We are grateful for God’s blessings in this and excited for the lasting impact it will have on our community for generations to come.
In addition to our financial successes, we have successfully launched a new donor portal that provides greater visibility to Donor Advised Funds. This portal allows you to view your fund balance and history, request grants to the charities you wish to support, and streamline the process of distributing those funds. We hope this enhances your giving experience while continuing to offer the same support via email and phone calls as we always have.
We are also excited to welcome the newest member of our team, Gift Planning Officer Joe Brinkman. Joe will serve Aberdeen and the surrounding communities, helping people discover the many ways the Catholic Community Foundation can support their charitable goals.
As we look to the future, I am filled with gratitude for each of you who make our work possible. Your generosity and commitment to our shared mission inspire us all to strive for excellence and compassion in all that we do.
Thank you for your continued support, and I pray that you have a blessed Easter.
God bless,
Tony Menke
President, Chief Executive Officer
