Lourdes Academy can help you create a legacy that will benefit Catholic education now and for generations to come. The estate plans you make now ensure that Lourdes Academy’s mission and traditions are passed on from one generation to the next. Benefactors who include Lourdes Academy in their estate plan become members of the Our Lady of Lourdes Legacy Society.
Lourdes Academy works in partnership with the Lourdes Academy Foundation, the Oshkosh Area Community Foundation and the Catholic Foundation for the Diocese of Green Bay on a number of existing endowment and scholarship funds, some of which are outlined at the bottom of this page.
For more information on planned giving or to establish your own named fund, please contact Advancement Director Karen Boehm at (920) 426-3626 ext. 546 or [email protected].
