Dear Friends,
The theme of our newsletter this year is “Building the Future of the Church.” As we navigate
through challenging times, we see unlimited opportunity for growth of sacraments, stewardship
and outreach.
At the Foundation we work with generous families in support of effective organizations and
programs. We build funds that facilitate family philanthropy and institutional strength.
People ARE generous. We see examples every day. This is true as we build the Patrick J. McGrath
Endowment for Ministry and grow endowments for parishes and schools. Through our Donor
Advised Funds we witness “givers” becoming “philanthropists” - thinking strategically about giving
and impact. We encourage others to grant alongside us to effective programs in outreach, faith formation, and music.
And we see results. Last year we granted $3 million, a record for the Foundation. Through our grant making, we seek to strengthen
ministry and inspire others to be involved. The greatest gift that we can give to future generations is hope. Through our work in
support of strong and effective ministry, we seek to give hope – hope for a strong and meaningful Church.
This is the face of Catholic philanthropy in Silicon Valley and beyond.
We answer our Gospel call in service to others through action,
advocacy and prayer. Join us!
