About The Catholic Community Foundation

For more than 2,000 years, the Catholic Church and its people have carried forth Christ's message of love, branching out to every corner of the world, sharing the good news of salvation through acts of faith and good works. The Catholic Community Foundation continues this magnificent tradition.

Established on July 1, 2001, the Foundation serves the needs of individuals and families who wish to make a lasting, growing contribution to the advancement of Catholic values. The Foundation also helps parishes, schools and Catholic organizations manage their long-term investment and endowment funds wisely, easily and cost effectively.

Ultimately, our goal is to increase the amount and effectiveness of philanthropy flowing to causes that support the mission of the Catholic Church in Southeastern Wisconsin.
