Catholic Foundation

Gifts to the Catholic Foundation serve the people of northeastern Wisconsin by assisting the Diocese of Green Bay, parishes, schools, and other Catholic and community charitable organizations whose practices conform to tenets of the Catholic faith.

Individuals and families may make gifts for a variety of causes, including:

• the annual Bishop’s Appeal
• special appeals for Seminarians, World Mission Services, Camp Tekawitha, or Holy Name Retreat House
• endowed funds for either the greatest current needs or specified purposes

Gifts to the Bishop’s Appeal help Catholic Charities, the Marriage Tribunal, education, evangelization and worship, services to parishes, training parish leaders, and publishing The Compass, the diocesan newspaper.

Endowed funds provide grants for a wide range of programs and services, including a leadership program for new pastors and parish directors; training of respite caregivers and youth ministers; tuition help for needy families; parish and school needs; and many more.

A small amount -- less than 10 percent -- goes for administrative expenses.
