The Catholic Foundation

Inspired by faith – and the vision of a stronger, more vibrant future for the Catholic Church – The Catholic Foundation was formed in 1991 as one of the fruits of the Archdiocesan Pastoral Plan. The Catholic Foundation is dedicated to moving hearts and touching lives. Since its inception, the Foundation has built over $36 million in endowment assets, which have generated over $11.5 million in grants and other distributions to help carry out God’s work. The Catholic Foundation works with clergy and lay leaders to identify critical issues and needs, and channel Foundation grants to programs that create the greatest impact. Through its grants, The Catholic Foundation provides food and clothing for the poor, makes Catholic education affordable for families in need, supports vocations, supplements the needs of retired priests, encourages the spiritual formation of youngsters, and brings loving care to the home bound elderly. You see people in need all around you and wonder, “What can I do to help?” You want to know that whatever money you give will be invested well and used wisely. And you want to be sure that your gifts will really help the people who need it most. The Catholic Foundation is a great solution. Giving to the endowments allows you to spread your charitable dollars across many organizations and needs. And, you can rest assured that your charitable wishes will always be honored.
