Who is the Catholic Community Foundation?

The Catholic Community Foundation is a non-profit, independent charitable organization that supports the religious, education and philanthropic objectives of the Diocese of Phoenix. Founded in 1983, the Foundation provides a means through which donors can make living and testamentary gifts to benefit their charitable objectives at any level. The Foundation helps to sustain the works of parishes, schools, agencies and outreach programs in the Diocese of Phoenix and beyond.

The Catholic Community Foundation specializes in endowment and grant fund management, as well as estate-planning for Catholics. The Foundations major annual programs include: The Crozier Gala, its’ only annual black-tie fundraiser, The Christian Service Awards, a scholarship program based on awarding students who have demonstrated exemplary Christ-centered behavior evidenced through service to parish, school, and community, and the once a year Grants program, a competitive process which supports works in the areas of education, Christian formation and communications.
