Create a Legacy

Why CCF?

The Catholic Community Foundation was established to serve the needs of individuals and families who wish to provide lasting support to those Catholic causes they care most about. The ultimate goal of the Foundation is to sustain and spread Catholic values by increasing the amount and effectiveness of philanthropy flowing to causes that support the mission of the Church in Southeastern Wisconsin.

The Board of Directors believes it is our responsibility to be sure that our investment managers are investing based on the socially responsible guidelines. Based on these guidelines, investments in the Foundation shall be consistent with the Catholic teachings.

It is the responsibility of the Board of Directors and the investment committee to provide oversight of the professional management of all funds along with our investment consultant, Colonial Consulting. We have a goal of providing long-term growth and believe we will achieve this through a diversified mix of investments.

Our History

The Catholic Community Foundation was established in July 2001 as a not-for-profit Wisconsin corporation, tax-exempt pursuant to Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and governed by its own Board of Directors. It is a separate civil and canonical entity independent of the Archdiocese of Milwaukee.
