Catholic Philanthropy

The Catholic Community Foundation is an independent nonprofit foundation that helps Catholics live a life of service to others and fulfill the universal mission of the Catholic Church locally, regionally, and internationally.

By providing philanthropic services customized to each donor’s charitable goals, the Foundation assists donors in ensuring a promising financial future for Catholic ministries across the Diocese of Phoenix.

Our structure fosters a culture of accountability, credibility, and integrity. As a publicly-supported charitable institution, we manage financial resources in an ethical manner so that donated funds are used for their intended purposes.
