Live to Serve. Give to Bless.
When we share what we’ve been given, we become the hands and heart of Christ. The Catholic Community Foundation offers numerous ways to make a difference in the Church today and sustain it beyond your lifetime through current and planned giving.
If we love somebody, we should put it into action. By doing acts of charity and kindness, we can be an answer to someone else’s prayers.

Support Everyday Needs Across Our Diocese
Every year, the CCF runs the Annual Diocesan Appeal, a Diocesan-wide effort to address urgent operational needs that a single parish cannot meet. The funds raised through the Appeal go directly to life-giving causes that uplift mind, body, and spirit—and the future of our Church.
Annual Diocesan Appeal
$4,936,548*
* 8.83% (or $436,000) of the Appeal funds raised go towards the effective administration of conducting the Appeal effort. These expenses include mailing, printing, database management, pledge processing fees, salaries, and banking.
