An endowed memorial scholarship in Tom’s name was the perfect answer.” – Tim and Jan Surdyke 2016 REPORT TO THE COMMUNITY Dear Friends, We are honored to serve as co-chairs of the Board of Trustees, leading the effort to advance the mission of the Roman Catholic Foundation of Eastern Missouri. The generous gifts of many are evident in the remarkable impact of Catholic philanthropy in our community. The Foundation and its board are committed to fulfilling the vision of Archbishop Robert J. Carlson, seeking new pathways toward hope for those we serve. The professional staff at the Foundation works diligently to connect donors with their philanthropic interests. Combining expertise and dedication, they help to strengthen Catholic ministries by collaborating with Catholic leaders and development professionals, assisting individuals and families in creating a legacy for the future. In 2016, the Foundation continued to build on the core of success established in our first full year of operation. We have been blessed by the generosity of our donors and our volunteer board members, who together are helping to sustain the future of Catholic entities and causes in eastern Missouri.

We trust you will find inspiration in the stories of individuals, families and organizations included in this report. Each day, more and more people are impacted by our donors’ gifts, lives are changed and our hope for the future is renewed.
