In Service to the Parishes, Schools, and Apostolates of the Archdiocese of Las Vegas

Welcome

Much like an archbishop’s duty to the Catholic faithful is symbolized by the pallium itself, the Pallium Foundation’s duty is to support the practice of the Faith throughout the Archdiocese of Las Vegas.

Mission Statement

The Pallium Foundation was established in 2025 to provide perpetual financial support for the parishes, schools, apostolates, missions, and other ministries of the Archdiocese of Las Vegas. Through the building of an endowment and a community of dedicated donors, the Foundation seeks to create a lasting legacy that enables the ministries of the Archdiocese to continue their transformative work for many years to come.

Guided by its commitment to service, faith, and stewardship, the Foundation strives to:

Support the Parishes and Missions

Through grants made from Parish Endowed Funds to respond to their most pressing and urgent needs. In this way, the Foundation ensures the continuing of the practice of the Faith in the Archdiocese of Las Vegas for many years to come.

Steward Resources

Through the Pallium Endowment, Parish Endowed Funds, and other Endowed Funds dedicated to specific Archdiocesan ministries. These funds help underwrite costs for projects and programs that advance the Archdiocese’s mission of spreading the Gospel message of Hope through evangelization, lifelong formation, and worship.

Create Legacy

Through the financial support of Pallium Society Members and other generous donors, who are committed to seeing the Foundation provide a stable financial future for the Archdiocese’s apostolates and ministries.

Enable Ministry

Through the work of the Foundation’s beneficiaries. By safeguarding the long-term future of the Archdiocesan parishes, schools, apostolates, missions, and other ministries, the Foundation enables these entities to support the Catholic Faithful and those in need.

The Foundation’s Annual Fund is used to underwrite the Foundation’s immediate operating needs and expenses, allowing the Foundation to carry out its work and respond to current needs as they arise. The Endowment is an investment fund from which the Board of Directors can make grants to the Archdiocese’s apostolates and ministries. Endowed funds may be established to support specific beneficiaries, with those funds restricted to providing support for the parish, school, apostolate, or other ministry for which they were established. Gifts to the Endowment are invested rather than spent, allowing the funds to generate support for their designated beneficiaries in perpetuity. All of the Foundation’s assets are invested according to guidelines from the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops.

A gift to the Foundation goes beyond a donation to the weekly parish collection. Your gift helps build a lasting source of financial support for the parishes, schools, apostolates, and ministries that serve the Catholic faithful throughout Southern Nevada. By giving to the Foundation, you help strengthen the Church’s work today while helping provide for its future.
