The Catholic Community Foundation

Grant Applications

Focus Areas

In awarding discretionary funds, the Foundation is focusing on four grant priorities for the foreseeable future:

Teaching Through Catholic Generosities: Education has always been an important mission of the Catholic Church. The Foundation will support Catholic schools and religious education programs that provide formation for students in kindergarten through twelfth grade.

Sharing the Faith Through Leadership: The Church needs effective leaders if it is to move boldly into the new millennium. Parishes, schools and agencies must have leaders who are able to engage people in creating a shared vision for the future while developing sound strategies and infrastructures to achieve the vision.

Strengthening the Foundation of the Church: To help build strong, supportive communities, the Foundation will support initiatives that strengthen families, parishes and those suffering from poverty, discrimination and violence.

Health Care Support Begins at the Heart: The Foundation awards grants from a fund established by the St. Anthony Foundation to support those organizations that are engaged in providing health care services in the City of Milwaukee, with particular attention being given to the central portions of the city that were formerly served by St. Anthony Hospital.
