GB : What do you feel is the biggest strength of the Catholic Community Foundation of San Diego right now ?
The Catholic Community Foundation of San Diego ( CCFSD ) is in a unique and opportune position within our community to serve individuals , families and organizations through a lens of faith and service . As Catholics , we are called to be good stewards in our communities and we believe that in sharing your time , your talents , and your treasures with one another , we can have a profoundly positive impact .
Thankfully , in San Diego and Imperial Counties there are so many options for philanthropy and avenues for individuals and families to support organizations that are doing such important work in our community . What distinguishes CCFSD is that we approach this from a truly Catholic perspective of faith and gratitude . The four pillars of our organization are support for our Catholic Parishes , Catholic Schools , Vocations , and Social Service agencies .
What also distinguishes us is that the funds that are held by CCFSD are invested in a values-based strategy that aligns with the US Conference of Catholic Bishops . And while we do not only support Catholic organizations , we are proud to support any organization that aligns with the values that we hold so close .
