    Summary

    The Foundation maintains its grant making in the three general areas as prescribed by the founders:

    • Catholic Organizations 
    • Other Charitable Organizations: Primary focus upon medical research, health care, local parks and recreational facilities, and projects serving youth.
     

    History of Funding

    None is available. 

    Additional Information

    The Foundation is in "wind-down" phase. It is projected to continue giving until September of 2018, at which time the Foundation will cease to grant any future awards and be permanently shut down. 

    To implement the wind-down, the Foundation will make substantially larger grants that fit under the general giving areas under Areas of Interest. These grants will be intended to have a lasting, major impact upon the organizations, communities, and/or institutions that receive these grants. The Foundation intends to emphasize capital grants (bricks and mortar, facility, and equipment) as a major component of this wind-down.
