About the Catholic Community Foundation

The Catholic Community Foundation was established in July, 2001, as a separate entity independent of the Archdiocese of Milwaukee and governed by its own Board of Directors. It helps serve the needs of individuals and families who wish to provide lasting support to those causes they care most about.  Donors can make a gift to establish a separate fund from which grants are awarded annually to support those causes that are dear to them—causes that ultimately advance the mission of the Church. The Foundation also helps parishes, schools and Catholic organizations manage their long-term investment and endowment funds wisely, easily and cost effectively. All investment managers invest based on socially responsible guidelines.

Since inception, the Foundation has provided over $5.3 million in grants to various organizations throughout Southeastern Wisconsin that support their four focus areas of education, leadership development, community building and health care in Milwaukee.
