Christmas In Spring For Grant Recipients
Twice per year, The Catholic Foundation distributes community grants to local Catholic churches and schools and nonprofit organizations. Grant requests are reviewed by the Board of Trustees’ Distribution Committee, followed by documented site visits by Trustees through which the recipients and funding amounts are determined.
The Catholic Foundation has, over time, provided more than $287 million in grants to religious, charitable and educational organizations of which $200 million has been distributed in the past 10 years alone.
