Endowment Fund began in 2016 with a check of one thousand US dollars, from a couple who believed in our dream to create a legacy that would continue to support the formation of apostles in perpetuity. Since then, Endowment Fund has grown slowly and modestly to over 400K USD, with a generous pledge of over € 5,000,000 and yet remains in an initial seeding phase.

Support of other immediate impact projects have limited the initial growth of the Endowment, yet we continue to dream in a legacy we can create together, for those moved to magnanimity in this project at the top of our strategic priorities.

The Endowment Fund is designed as a strategic investment fund and will eventually be launched to enhance financial stability. A well-managed endowment provides a message of planned long-term stability, fiscal responsibility, and financial viability for the Foundation.  Donations to the Endowment Fund relieve pressure on the annual funds for overheads and operational needs, thereby enabling the Foundation to grow its long-term vision of sustainable support and impact.

Thanks to the creativity of Father Joseph Tham’s calligraphy, seals and paintings, proceeds from his two exhibitions, The Art of God (2021) and Beauty of the Universe (2022), Malaysia organised and supported by Joan Mahony, funds raised have helped significantly grow the Endowment.  
In addition, Joan is an author of numerous books with an array of subject matters. Aside from writing. Joan’s most recent book published in 2020, ‘MILLENNIALS MEET MARY’ was launched at the Vatican Museum to a world-wide audience at the height of the Covid pandemic. The launch was conducted via Zoom Webinar on May 30th 2020 at the Vatican Museum, and thousands of copies of the digital and print version of the book have since been downloaded and distributed.
