About Catholic Human Services Foundation
Catholic Human Services Foundation’s recent giving is defined by support for Catholic organizations that deliver health and human services, with repeated funding for hospitals, medical research, disability services, and practical facility needs. The foundation also backs charitable work beyond its core Catholic partners, but the pattern in the grant list shows a strong preference for capital and equipment requests that help organizations serve vulnerable people more effectively. Its grants commonly support the purchase or replacement of things that keep services running: medical equipment, generators, flooring, food, transportation, and accessibility upgrades. Family Promise Inc received $15,000 for laptops, a desktop, and a dock for staff use, while Matheny School and Hospital Inc received $15,000 for wheelchair-friendly vinyl flooring. Those examples fit a broader profile of direct, operationally useful support rather than large unrestricted awards. The foundation’s portfolio also shows consistent attention to Catholic ministries and affiliated institutions serving children, seniors, people with disabilities, and people facing homelessness or housing instability. Recent awards include support for dental care delivery, long-term care facilities, emergency backup power, and residential programs. The result is a grantmaker centered on human services with a practical, service-delivery orientation.
