We partner with individual donors, Catholic organizations and professional advisors to acquire and develop funds to be granted to the community. We specialize in endowed funds, donor advised funds, investment management and legacy planning.
Donor Advised Funds
A Donor Advised Fund is a philanthropic tax planning tool. It allows a donor to make a one-time charitable donation, receive full and immediate tax benefits for the calendar year, and grant from that fund to limitless nonprofit organizations without timing or minimum pay out restrictions. In the case of appreciated assets, a Donor Advised Fund can assist you in turning capital gains into charitable gains!
Endowments
Endowments are essential to an organization’s financial viability. An endowment is a permanent fund invested for the benefit of a particular purpose. Funds are granted only from the investment earned by the fund, never its capital. Therefore, an endowment donation gives perpetually, providing Forever Value to its beneficiary.
Grants
Our grants provide funding to many wonderful organizations and causes. Through grantmaking, we are able to strengthen our community and allow focus to shift from financial insecurities and remain on Catholic ministry.
Investment Management
The Catholic Community Foundation partners with Colonial Consulting and 16 individual investment managers in its investment strategizing. All of its investments are monitored continuously to ensure the highest possible rates of return on your philanthropy.
Legacy Planning
Thoughtful consideration of the legacy you want to leave will have a meaningful impact on you faith, friends, family and community.
