A Note from the Executive Director
Greg Deja

Dear Friends,
 
If the word “unprecedented” best reflects 2020, the word “pivot” may top the list for 2021. As we conclude the first year of our strategic plan, the Catholic Foundation has made several significant pivots over the past year to move the Foundation forward, better serve our fundholders, and make the greatest impact possible on Catholic ministries. One of the most recent – and most notable – developments is the way in which the Foundation structures the talent and passion within the community for the benefit of our greater mission.
