Our Mission
In partnership, the Foundation and professionals work together to foster faithful stewardship by helping Catholics turn their charitable intentions into lasting support for the parishes, schools, and ministries they love – today and for generations to come.
“Our parishes, schools, charitable ministries, religious communities, and lay leaders all bear witness to the enduring light of Christ passed down through generations. Now, in our own time, we are called to carry that light forward with courage, joy, and faith.”
~ Most Reverend Mitchell T. Rozanski, Archbishop of St. Louis
Partner with the Foundation
The Foundation can help you better serve your philanthropic clients. A planned gift is one way Catholics can carry that light forward – strengthening the Church and the ministries that they love for generations to come.
- While you maintain primacy in the client relationship, we serve as a thought partner as you guide individuals and families in their planning and deepening relationships with those who value faith-based generosity.
- The Foundation is a 501(c)(3) public charity, independent from the Archdiocese of St. Louis, that connects donors to Catholic ministries to sustain the local Church for future generations. We strive to maximize desired outcomes for donors and the Catholic organizations they love and will help you and your clients navigate the many Catholic causes in our region, connecting them with those best aligned with their interests.
- Your philanthropic Catholic clients will feel secure knowing that all investments at the Foundation are screened according to the Socially Responsible Investment Guidelines established by the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops.
