At the Catholic Community Foundation, we promote “Putting your money where your faith is”. Catholic investing, or Catholic values investing, is the process of eliminating companies that act or are in the business of acting contrary to our belief system. Taking Catholic values investing one step further is actively including companies that exemplify or promote business practices that are consistent with our values.

Our Finance and Investment Committee, along with our management team, is responsible for overseeing the activity and holdings of the investment manager to ensure there is adequate compliance with the Investment Policy Statement. The Investment Policy Statement is a tool that governs the rules, goals, and objectives of the Foundation’s investment practices. Although the investment partner acts as a fiduciary, we layer in additional safeguards to ensure we are honoring our call to remain compliant with the USCCB guidelines.
