The Catholic Foundation is a nonprofit corporation with the mission of providing a permanent source of funding for religious, educational and social service activities and ministries in the 23-county Diocese of Columbus. It is one of the oldest and largest Catholic foundations in the country.
Since 1985, the Foundation has been working with donors from all walks of life who want to make a lasting difference, distributing more than $20 million in grants to support Parishes, schools, agencies and programs in our diocese and across the nation. Each of the nearly 400 different funds we administer is as unique as the donors who create them and used exclusively for the purpose stated by the donors.
