    • Why Give?

      Giving through the Catholic Community Foundation (CCF) sustains our Catholic heritage for future generations by supporting parishes, schools, and nonprofit ministries in our archdiocese. The CCF offers our donors the benefits of philanthropic expertise, faith-based priorities, and morally and socially responsible investing standards while supporting these worthy causes. By giving through the foundation, donors receive not only tax benefits but also the assurance that their gifts are effectively managed by our professional staff.

    • Faith and Trust

      We are Catholic. We understand the stewardship and spirituality of our Catholic heritage and the desire to provide a legacy of faith. Partnering with CCF ensures your donor intent is protected forever.
    • Experience and Knowledge

      Established in 1976, our foundation is among the largest in the country. Our professional staff has decades of combined experience advising donors and working with hundreds of parishes, schools, and nonprofit ministries across our eight-civil parish region.
    • Leadership

      CCF is governed by a board of faithful and committed laypersons, religious, and clergy. Our Professional Advisors Council is comprised of highly-respected legal, financial, and accounting experts.
    • Service

      As active members of CCF’s philanthropic family, all donors can expect the highest level of service from our staff.
    • Convenience

      The simplicity of supporting multiple organizations through a single source.
    • What does morally and socially responsible investing mean? 

      Our Catholic faith precedes policy and practice, calling us to a higher level of stewardship. While we recognize that our Catholic donors have many passions, we request that donors establishing advised funds grant at least 50% of their gifts to Catholic organizations. Distributions are awarded only to organizations in conformity with Catholic teaching, and the majority of the funds are invested in accordance with the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops’ Socially Responsible Investment Guidelines. Catholic Community Foundation donors can be assured that their gifts and legacies will be handled in a manner consistent with your values and wishes.

  • What tax benefits do donors receive?

    • Generous donors like you seek ways to make their charitable dollars go farther to maximize impact for the organizations and causes you support. Government tax incentives can reduce out-of-pocket costs for your charitable gifts and may allow you to contribute much more than you originally envisioned. The Catholic Community Foundation can assist you in taking full advantage of the tax benefits of charitable giving via:

      • Cash gifts,
      • Gifts of appreciated securities, 
      • Gifts from your retirement plan, and 
      • Other items of value, like real estate and tangible property.
    • Sometimes donors prefer a guided seminar experience for a more in-depth look at philanthropy. Our Digital Legacy Seminar: Lifetime of Generosity is a 30-minute guided experience designed to help you reflect on God's generosity in your life and find ways to enrich the lives of those around you through the power of giving.
