The Domenica Foundation concentrates its giving in South Jersey with a clear emphasis on supporting Catholic education, local healthcare, and disability services. Most of its dollars flow to a small set of repeat grantees—particularly Catholic schools serving the Camden area—alongside sizable gifts to a regional health system and an organization serving individuals with disabilities.
Concentrated, high-dollar giving to a small number of repeat grantees—multiple large grants to the same organizations rather than many small, one-off gifts—focused geographically in the Camden/Haddon Township area.
Domenica Foundation Inc’s giving is marked by repeated, multi-year support for Catholic education in the Camden area. The largest recent awards went to Catholic Partnership Schools, which received $225,000 in both 2024 and 2025 after a $200,000 grant in 2023, and to Camden Catholic High School, which received $136,000 in 2025 after $124,000 in 2024 and $115,500 in 2023. That pattern shows a funder that stays with core partners over time rather than rotating widely across organizations. The foundation also backs local organizations serving broader community needs in South Jersey. Lucy Outreach received $100,000 in 2023 and 2024, plus $40,000 in 2025, while Virtua Health Foundation received $100,000 in each of 2023, 2024, and 2025. Smaller grants in the recent list include support for neighborhood and cultural groups such as Camden Community Partnership and Symphony in C. The portfolio points to a local funder focused on schools, health, disability services, and community stability, with general-purpose support used often across its grantee base.
Catholic education is a central theme in the foundation’s grantmaking. Catholic Partnership Schools in Camden received $225,000 in 2025 for general purposes, and Camden Catholic High School in Cherry Hill received $136,000 the same year, also for general purposes. The scholarship side of the portfolio reinforces that focus: the Domenica Scholarship program awards up to 25 four-year high-school scholarships each year to eighth-grade students with academic potential and financial need. Health and disability services are another clear thread. Virtua Health Foundation in Marlton received $100,000 in 2025 for general purposes, continuing prior-year support. Lucy Outreach in Camden received $40,000 in 2025 after larger grants in the prior two years, indicating ongoing support for services in the local community. The foundation also funds neighborhood-based community work. Camden Community Partnership received $35,000 in both 2023 and 2024 for general purposes.
Typical grants cluster in the middle of the distribution, with a p25 of $10,000, a median of $20,000, and a p75 of $45,150. The recent grants list shows repeated support to the same organizations across 2023, 2024, and 2025, which points to long-term partnerships rather than one-off gifts. Many awards are listed as general purposes, and the foundation’s stated approach includes general operating support, occasional program-specific funding, and capital campaign support. Its general grants programs also accept unsolicited proposals.
