LaPorte County is home to some of the brightest, most well-rounded young adults the Midwest has to offer. Young adults who challenge themselves daily to excel not only academically, but also in the larger context of purpose-driven, morally sound, Christian lives. These students work diligently in our county’s businesses. They volunteer their time in our food pantries, homeless shelters, and other charitable organizations. Collectively, they form the vibrant pulse of LaPorte County, the youthful heartbeat that ensures the future of the culturally enriched, forward-thinking communities that comprise our region.

With your financial support, together, we can help provide technology and give assistance to students in need through the Marquette Foundation.

The Marquette Foundation was established over 30 years ago by alumni and parents with a desire to insure the future of Marquette High School. Our sole purpose is to benefit the school by providing a long-range source of income through the investment of contributions to an Endowment Fund.

The endowment fund is comprised of donations made through memorials, bequests and campaigns. Holding the endowment in trust, the interest is returned to the school annually to help balance the school's budget, provide technology and give assistance to students in need.

Marquette students are intelligent and engaged; ethical and worldly. They know the lasting importance of giving back to the communities that have seen them learn, grow, and ultimately, thrive. They are our future, a future that, under their lead, is assured to be exceptionally bright.

Other Ways to Give

	Wills - The magic of a will is that you control your possessions at the time of your death, a time when you want to show the importance you place on Catholic education. A stated bequest in your will can not only benefit Marquette High School, but also be a fitting memory and lasting tribute to you or a loved one. Most importantly, your gift will assist Catholic Education and help to secure our future.
	Living Trusts - Charitable life-income
	Gift Annuities - Gift annuities are helpful to older individuals who are looking for a safe, secure place to put their money and get an attractive interest rate, while at the same time satisfying a desire to support a cause.
	About Estate Planning - Planning your estate can seem at times to be a complex task. It is worth the time and effort. Through planning you may be able to make a significant gift to the Marquette Foundation...a gift you thought you couldn't afford. We recommend that you consult your attorney about applying these principles to your situation.

MISSION STATEMENT
