DEVELOPING STRONG RELATIONSHIPS
The Catholic Community Foundation builds strong communities by helping donors achieve their charitable goals. We are a leader, a catalyst and a resource for Catholic philanthropy. We make grants to meet the needs of the Catholic community and to provide accountable philanthropic services for people and organizations. Most prospective donors work with their professional advisors, i.e., attorneys, accountants, brokers, bankers, trust officers, life insurance agents and financial professionals, as they make charitable giving decisions. Thus, the Foundation strives to establish strong, trusted relationships with these influential advisors in order to communicate more efficiently with prospective donors. We understand that the primary motivation of advisors is to do what is best for their clients, and we believe that working with CCF provides donors with the best vehicles for achieving their charitable goals, while enhancing the services that advisors provide to their clients.
