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.

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.
