support

100% of your donation goes directly to the ministries—no administrative costs.
 

We are touched by the reality that a good steward is the caretaker of God's many gifts.  You have been a gift to us despite the financial struggles of these days.  Both those we serve and our sisters are grateful for your gifts and we thank God each day for your support.  The following shows how your funds are received.

Total Donations for 2009

 

 

Restricted/Unrestricted Ministries

The Sisters of St. Francis of Philadelphia assume operational costs of the Foundation; therefore, every dollar that our donors give is used solely for the ministries and retirement. All funds that are received in a fiscal year are disbursed at the end of that fiscal year. Each year congregational leadership determines where the disbursement of unrestricted funds are most needed.  Disbursement of FY 2009 Unrestricted Cash Funds and Nondisbursed Unrestricted Funds prior to FY 2003: Total for all Unrestricted Disbursements is $1,424,900.78.
