The Catholic Foundation for the Diocese of Davenport (CFDD) encourages, solicits, accepts and manages gifts in order to foster stewardship and distributes income so as to advance the priorities of the Diocese of Davenport and its entities according to Gospel values.
A $5,000,000 grant to the Priest Aid Society-Diocese of Davenport, designated for the Upon This Rock campaign, stands out in the Catholic Foundation for the Diocese of Davenport’s recent grant history. That award sits alongside annual support for diocesan operations and recurring funding for Catholic schools and parishes across the diocese. The foundation’s giving is tied to stewardship and to the priorities of the Diocese of Davenport and its entities, with income from donor-created funds distributed for Catholic ministry, education, and parish needs. Recent awards show a mix of large-scale institutional support and smaller recurring allocations. The Diocese of Davenport received grants in 2023, 2024, and 2025 for daily operations, while parish and school recipients such as Regina Inter-parish Catholic Education Center, Assumption High School, All Saints Catholic School, Burlington Notre Dame Inc, and Holy Trinity Catholic School appear repeatedly over multiple years. The foundation also supports church and parish entities, including Our Lady of Victory Church and St. Paul the Apostle School of Davenport Iowa, reflecting a diocesan-wide pattern rather than a single-site emphasis. Its role extends beyond direct grantmaking through donor advised funds and endowment structures that channel support to Catholic institutions over time.
Catholic education is a consistent theme in the foundation’s grants. Regina Inter-parish Catholic Education Center in Iowa City received $18,894 in 2025, after grants of $17,985 in 2024 and $17,149 in 2023. Assumption High School in Davenport also received support in 2023, 2024, and 2025, as did All Saints Catholic School, Burlington Notre Dame Inc, and Holy Trinity Catholic School. Parish support appears in both operating and capital-related forms. St. Paul the Apostle School of Davenport Iowa received grants in 2023, 2024, and 2025 with a note that 80 parishes would receive various amounts and that needs may include building expansion, repairs, and renovations. Our Lady of Victory Church of Davenport Iowa also received repeated grants across three years, while Our Lady of Lourdes in Bettendorf appears in the 2024 and 2025 records. The foundation also supports diocesan ministries and administration. The Diocese of Davenport received annual operating grants in 2023, 2024, and 2025.
