Shepherds Endowment Society

The Shepherds Endowment Fund was established in 2007 within the Good Shepherd Manor Foundation to provide a continuing source of income for Good Shepherd Manor and to do so in perpetuity.

Endowment gifts are not spent but are invested to generate annual income far beyond the life of the  donor. The investment income provides a stable  funding source for future operating expenses of Good Shepherd Manor.

 

“The SES helps the Manor have long-term financial security, which means long-term care for these special men. We want other families to feel the sense of contentment and peace knowing their loved one will always have a home providing safe and compassionate care.”

SES Members – Ed and Joan O’Brien, sister of a former resident

The Shepherds Endowment Society makes a disbursement annually into the operating budget of Good  Shepherd Manor.
