About Catholic Community Foundation for the Diocese of Phoenix

Catholic Community Foundation for the Diocese of Phoenix backs Catholic institutions across the Diocese of Phoenix with grants that often support operating needs, parish life, schools, and formation. Recent support shows a strong tie to diocesan infrastructure: the Diocese of Phoenix - Office of Mission Advancement received $514,014 in 2024, and the Diocese of Phoenix - Bishop's Office received $408,320 in the same year. The foundation also funded Catholic education and campus support at St John Paul II Catholic High School, including a $303,198 grant in 2025 and a $200,000 grant in 2023. Its grantmaking reflects a faith-based portfolio that includes education, vocations, poverty relief, parish and school improvements, and ministries tied to Catholic teaching. Grants also reached groups such as Mount Claret Retreat Center, Society of St Vincent de Paul, Aid to Women Center, and Catholic Charities Community Services. The pattern suggests a funder that works through the Catholic community’s institutions and service organizations, with awards used for program support rather than broad unrestricted philanthropy. Endowments, donor-advised funds, scholarships, planned gifts, and the Giving Circle all sit within the foundation’s model, linking donor intent to recurring support for Catholic priorities.
