Ex Corde Foundation appears to be a Catholic faith-based funder that concentrates its giving on parishes, dioceses, and other church institutions across Canada. Its grants are largely directed to local parish communities in Ontario and to diocesan bodies in several provinces and territories, suggesting a strong emphasis on sustaining Catholic worship, ministry, and church operations rather than broad secular nonprofit work. The pattern of repeat grants to parishes indicates it likely supports ongoing pastoral, capital, or special project needs within the Catholic Church.
