Mission & Focus Areas
The Foundation states that it inspires charitable giving and assists donors in investing in the future of Catholic parishes, schools, and nonprofit organizations. Its program description says it helps donors provide for Michigan ministries through socially and morally responsible charitable tools, in line with Catholic teachings.
Its grantmaking focuses on social outreach, parish life, and Catholic education and formation. Examples of grantees illustrate the range of organizations supported: Mary’s Mantle describes itself as a Catholic residential program for homeless expectant women; International Samaritan works with people in garbage-dump communities to address poverty; and Gleaners Community Food Bank says it works to provide households with nutritious food and related resources. These are the grantees’ descriptions of their own missions.

Its guidelines invite eligible applicants to submit an online Letter of Intent (LOI); after review, Foundation staff notify applicants of eligibility. The guidelines require applicants to be Michigan nonprofits primarily serving Michigan communities, to be U.S. 501(c)(3) organizations with audited financial statements, and to have missions, values, and behaviors aligned with Catholic teachings.
