Charitable Planning Guide
Welcome to Your Catholic Foundation... Faith Empowered I am thrilled you are with us today. Allow me to welcome you to The Catholic Foundation on behalf of the dedicated Board members who come from all corners of the Diocese. We hope The Foundation will serve as the catalyst for your philanthropy. Giving is a personal, powerful expression of faith. It is important that you know the flexible ways in which you may support your Catholic faith now and in the future. The beautiful process of matching one of your ideas with an, as yet, unfilled opportunity or need, is an honor which we value. Sometimes this process stirs an emotion that is hard to describe. Know that I am eager to talk with you about your ideas. Maybe an idea has been in the back of your mind for some time, or possibly it just occurred to you. Either way, a chat or visit at your convenience is only a click, email, or phone call away. What really matters to you? Listen to your heart. Do you have a passion for music ministry... youth leadership... your Church... your school... people in need... Catholic education or something else? Together, we will plan the future.
