Empowering Parishes, Growing God’s Kingdom
The Catholic Community Foundation walks alongside every parish in the Diocese of Richmond. We are committed to safeguarding their futures by strengthening stewardship, connecting generous hearts to parish needs, and nurturing resources that sustain communities.
A Parish’s Partner in Fundraising
We know that pastors and parish staff are deeply devoted to serving their people, and that takes most of their time. Our role is to offer guidance and practical tools so each parish can flourish according to its unique gifts and needs. We support parishes with:
- The Annual Diocesan Appeal
- Capital campaigns
- Organizing and managing endowments funds
- Hispanic stewardship program
- Increased offertory programs
- Legacy giving
- Major gift consulting
- E-giving consulting
Our parish services team
Provides guidance on capital campaigns, helps parishes increase their offertory, sets up parish investment funds, grows legacy giving, and more. They seek to equip pastors, parish staff, and volunteers with the resources they need to foster a culture of stewardship—freeing up time and energy for what matters most: shepherding souls.
Our philanthropy advisor team
Cultivates meaningful relationships with donors, inviting them to participate in the life and future of their parish through endowment funds, the Annual Diocesan Appeal, capital campaigns, and other opportunities to give.
