Our Foundation

Striving to strengthen our Faith and provide support to others, not because they are Catholic, but…because WE are Catholic.

Catholic United Financial > Giving Network > Our Foundation

In our complicated and fast-paced lives, it is often difficult to believe that each of us has the power to deeply affect the world around us. However, we can have a profound effect by working together.

Catholic United Financial Foundation was founded in December of 1997 to provide members of Catholic United Financial with faith-honoring options for their charitable giving. The Catholic United Financial Foundation is a non-profit, 501(c)3 organization. Donations made to the Foundation are tax-deductible.
