Your Catholic Retirement^™

Bring your faith with you wherever you go. Including retirement.

Support Your Parish Today, Tomorrow, and Forever

Every parish in the diocese of Columbus has an endowment fund that The Catholic Foundation manages. An endowment fund is a longer-term, sustained investment that provides a perpetual source of income that helps support the general needs of the church outside of the weekly offertory. You can contribute to your parish’s endowment fund in any amount, at any time.

Contact Scott Hartman to start a conversation about making a planned gift to your parish’s endowment fund.

Our Story

Established in 1984, The Catholic Foundation is an independent, authentically Catholic, charitable organization that maximizes personal giving to transform lives through parishes, education, vocations, and ministries.

Ways To Give

We believe you don’t need to be wealthy or have every need met to be generous. Our team has the ability and experience to multiply gifts through intentional stewardship to transform any act of giving into something greater than the sum of its parts.
