This testamentary religious and charitable trust was required to distribute its net income each year to a Catholic Church and to 10 other Catholic tax exempt charitiy and religious organizations, until its termination date 25 years after Decedents death in October, 1999. The same 11 entities receive grants and bequests each year until the entire remainder is also distributed to the same entities. During 2024 this charitable trust terminated and all accrued income and principal of the trust was distributed to the same eleven charitable beneficiaries.

Operating model

Revenue model
Investment-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from recurring investment income.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of total spending goes to programs and most voting board members are independent. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filing does not identify recipients for some grant dollars.
