About RamTell

Guidelines and Mission

Since its establishment in 1994, RamTell has made a profound impact by supporting vital programs and organizations rooted in Christian principles, with a predominant focus on Catholic values, education, and life issues. The foundation provides engaged, intentional, and committed stewardship to Catholic organizations and community-based causes. RamTell is a private family foundation dedicated to advancing Catholic causes, particularly in education and the sanctity of life. Through strategic grants and partnerships, it promotes Catholic values, enhances faith-based educational opportunities, and supports initiatives that reflect the belief that all people are created in the image of God. The foundation is looking to partner with organizations that are using new and creative ways to make long-term impact on those they serve. We are currently looking for partner schools that are interested in developing a Stewardship program we are piloting.

Covenant Statement

As descendants of Guy Neil and LaVerne Ramsey, we have been richly blessed by their legacy of devotion to family, faith, and charity. This foundation, entrusted to us, supports organizations rooted in Christian principles with a predominantly Catholic focus. We accept this responsibility with humility and purpose. We recognize that uniting as a family in shared giving amplifies impact and serves as a powerful witness. In the biblical sense, a covenant establishes a committed relationship with God and one another. As God promised in Genesis 12:1-2, families that go forth together in covenant receive rich blessings that endure across generations. We invite all involved into the Covenant of Ramsey Family Partnership: We will honor God in all we do, steward the foundation with Christ-like love and humility, and trust in His guidance.

We will faithfully represent Guy Neil and LaVerne Ramsey’s intentions in our current and future partnerships.
We will serve in unity and love—one spirit—sharing our God-given gifts and resources as a collective witness.

Stewardship Program

Forming a Life of Stewardship

The Stewardship Program is a formation program for young men and women that brings together Christian stewardship and Catholic spirituality. Its purpose is to help students recognize their gifts, develop them with intention, and share them generously in service to God and others.

The program is grounded in the belief that every person is created in the image and likeness of God and entrusted with unique gifts—including talents, abilities, relationships, experiences, and material resources.

Students are invited to receive these gifts with gratitude, cultivate them with responsibility, and use them for the common good. Stewardship is not simply about managing possessions; it is a way of living that shapes character, faith, and vocation.

Purpose

Help students recognize the gifts they have been given, develop them intentionally, and understand how those gifts can be shared generously in service to God and others.

Four Habits of Stewardship

The program centers on four habits that guide a life of stewardship: gratitude, accountability, generosity, and faithful growth. Together, they provide a framework for how students receive, develop, and share their gifts.
