Diocese of Las Cruces Foundation, Inc.The Diocese of Las Cruces Foundation Inc. was established on September 16, 1988. The foundation's purpose is exclusively to enhance and assist the educational and charitable work of the Diocese of Las Cruces. The Foundation serves the area of ministry for the Diocese of Las Cruces which comprises of 44 parishes, 45 missions, 6 schools, and approximately 140,000 constituents. The Diocese covers 10 counties which make up approximately 45,000 square miles. It is considered to be one of the largest mission diocese in the USA primarily because approximately 1/3 of the diocesan population survive at the lowest economic level. The mission of the Diocese of Las Cruces Foundation is to establish and maintain operational endowment funds, develop programs and activities to generate income and contributions for the fund, assist contributors making current and or planned gifts to achieve the tax advantages and benefits that arise from such actions, manage the funds to maintain principal and to distribute investment earnings, and to ensure earnings from gifts with specifically-designated purpose are faithfully used for the designated purpose. The Diocese of Las Cruces Foundation sponsors several fund-raising events throughout the year. The money raised from these community events is deposited into a General Endowment Fund. The major fund-raising events include the annual Golf Tournament hosted in May, the annual Bishop's Birthday Party hosted in September, and the annual Las Cruces International Mariachi Conference in November. The interest generated from the General Endowment Fund allows the Foundation to distribute these proceeds to charities throughout the diocese. These proceeds support social, educational and community charities which assist our neediest families. The Diocese of Las Cruces Foundation is a vehicle for a diocesan planned giving program. This program provides long term financial support for the mission of the diocese. The Foundation has many established annuities, trust, and endowments. Foundation's Planned Giving Attorneys: Robert W. Ikard P.A. John A. Darden III In Lieu of Flowers In lieu of flowers, give a gift that keeps on giving. If you would like to give a memorial gift rather than flowers for a funeral or other reason, you may make a charitable donation to the Diocese of Las Cruces Foundation Inc. The foundation will then send a Guadalupe Prayer Card to the designated person or organization to inform them a memorial gift has been made to the foundation on their behalf. For more information, please call the foundation office at 523-7577 or email the office at cvillegas@dioceseoflascruces.org. Thank you.
