Benefits of an AIDF account

• Make grants to the Diocese out of any surpluses from its operations for use by Bishop-in-Council to further the mission of the Diocese,

• Make donations out of any surpluses from our operations to Parishes or other Diocesan agencies.

The Fund is required by law to notify investors that:
