Shepherds Endowment Society<\/h1>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Endowment gifts are not spent but are invested to generate annual income far beyond the life of the\u00a0 donor. The investment income provides a stable\u00a0 funding source for future operating expenses of Good Shepherd Manor.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cThe 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 have a home providing safe and compassionate care.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

SES Members – Ed and Joan O\u2019Brien, <\/i><\/strong>sister of a former resident<\/i><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The Shepherds Endowment Society makes a disbursement annually into the operating budget of Good\u00a0 Shepherd Manor.<\/p>\n
