Set Up a Parish, School or Organizational Fund
The Catholic Community Foundation manages endowments and long-term investment funds for more than half of the parishes in the Archdiocese of Saint Paul and Minneapolis, plus a growing number in the Dioceses of New Ulm and Duluth.

Benefits of working with the Catholic Community Foundation include:

  • Sophisticated investment approach with extensive due diligence
  • Screened investment pools that exclude companies in conflict with church teaching
  • Support for the fiduciary duties of a parish, school or institution
  • Prompt, personal service from experienced professionals
  • Assistance with the development and implementation of a multi-year planned giving marketing plan
