ADVOCATE FOR CATHOLIC EDUCATION THROUGH THE EDUCATION FOREVER FUND
Help make Catholic education more affordable and accessible to deserving and faith-filled students!
Educating the next generation about God and the world He created has been of paramount importance in sustaining the community of faith across the ages. While the Catholic Church has long been a pioneer at all levels of education, the necessity of tuition for the operation of private schools means that most families are not able to afford the excellent education and spiritual formation that Catholic schools offer.
The Catholic Community Foundation has awarded nearly $400,000 in scholarships for the 2022 school year. You can help the Catholic Community Foundation reach its endowment goal of $12,750,000 for its Education Forever Endowment Fund, which will provide steady annual disbursements of $510,000 to our community’s Catholic schools so that they can serve children whose families cannot afford to send them without tuition assistance. You can help by donating to the Education Forever Endowment Fund today!

Sustaining Catholic Education
Help us to make Catholic education more affordable and accessible to deserving and faith-filled students! This fund provides tuition scholarships to families based on financial need.* No child should be denied a Catholic education because of the cost. Help us to make this a reality!
For the 2021-2022 school year, CCF awarded $255,000 in scholarship funds to 15 local 7th-grade students attending Diocesan Catholic schools through the CCF Scholarship Program.
For the 2020-2021 school year, CCF awarded $323,762 in scholarship funds to 19 local 7th-grade students attending Diocesan Catholic schools through the CCF Scholarship Program.
The CCF Scholarship Program Award will continue to support these student recipients through their four years of Catholic high school.
The CCF Scholarship Program is made possible through funding from the Education Forever Fund, an endowment design specifically for funding Catholic tuition-based scholarships. With your help, our Education Forever Fund endowment will continue to support deserving students and their families, bridging the financial gap needed to reach their educational goals.

Educating the next generation about God and the world He created has been paramount in sustaining the community of faith across the ages. While the Catholic Church has long been a pioneer at all levels of education, the necessity of tuition for the operation of private schools means that most families cannot afford the excellent, whole-person education that Catholic schools offer.
While nearly $600,000 in total scholarship dollars has been awarded for the CCF Scholarship Program so far *, the collective need of local Catholic elementary and high schools is $42 million**.
You can help CCF reach its Phase I endowment goal of $12,750,000 for its Education Forever Fund to provide steady annual disbursements of $510,000 to our community’s Catholic schools so that they can serve children whose families cannot afford to send them without tuition assistance.

“As a mother of four children, I thought that a Catholic high school experience was beyond our means. When our elementary school principal told us about an amazing opportunity through the Catholic Community Foundation, we applied. We were thrilled to be notified that a scholarship was awarded. Thanks to this amazing opportunity, my son will be able to receive a faith-informed, high-quality education during some of the most important formative years of his life.”
