Mission & Focus Areas
The Foundation’s mission is to facilitate impactful grantmaking and collaboration by connecting generous donors with effective ministries, programs, and organizations. Its stated focus includes supporting Catholic ministry through grants made possible by donor funds.
The annual Living the Faith Grants invite parishes in the Diocese of San José to apply across seven categories: Evangelization, Family Ministry, Formation, Music, Parish Outreach, Worship, and Youth & Young Adults. The Foundation also makes grants from designated endowments, family endowments, and donor-advised funds. Donor-advised fund holders may recommend grants to Catholic and non-Catholic nonprofit organizations across the United States.
Examples of 2024 grantees illustrate the range of organizations receiving support. Columbia River Maritime Museum describes its work as collecting, preserving, displaying, and interpreting the maritime history and culture of the Columbia River and North Pacific. Catholic Charities of Santa Clara County says it serves and advocates for families and individuals in need, especially those living in poverty. Clear Creek Services describes providing residents with a home-like environment and opportunities to participate in community life.
Grantmaking
In 2024, the Foundation reported 86 grants totaling $12,016,220. Individual grants ranged from $5,250 to $5,161,472, with a median grant of $13,600. All of the largest listed grants were recorded for general support. The largest included $5,161,472 to Columbia River Maritime Museum; $2,510,375 to the Diocese of San Jose and its parishes; and $1,000,000 to Liberty Restoration Inc.
Living the Faith is an annual open application process for parishes in the Diocese of San José. Each parish may submit one application. The Foundation says programs involving multiple parishes may receive additional funding, and encourages applicants to describe collaborative plans. For the 2027 cycle, the stated deadline is March 12, 2027.
For grants from designated endowments and family endowments, recipients are set by the fund’s purpose or the family that created it; those grants do not require an application. Donor-advised fund holders may recommend grants at any time. The Foundation says it requires annual reports from most grant recipients and that many grants also require a mid-year progress report. For donor-advised fund grants, its Grants Program Manager conducts research and due diligence before a grant is issued.
