The Catholic Foundation of Greater Philadelphia
Our Mission:
Following the Charitable example of Jesus Christ, The Catholic Foundation of Greater Philadelphia exists to serve the mission of the Catholic Church for the betterment of the lives of the people in southeastern Pennsylvania. Specifically, it provides donors an avenue to fulfill their charitable goals through the support of projects, programs, organizations and initiatives of a Catholic nature that respond to their need to love and support others. We provide parishes, ministries, and Catholic organizations the tools and the structure to develop additional resources and support.
