The Catholic Foundation for the Diocese of Saint Cloud was established in 2000, to nurture stewardship and philanthropy throughout the diocese by:

• tending to, and distributing annual grants from larger endowed funds, such as the “Living the Promise” funds

• educating others about the foundation, estate planning, gifting opportunities, and the spirituality of sacrificial giving

• responsibly managing funds for parishes, institutions and individual donors

• assisting families and individuals who wish to honor loved ones or leave their own legacy through a named fund

• serving others as Christ would have us serve

The Catholic Foundation for the Diocese of Saint Cloud currently manages assets in excess of $19 million. In addition to “Living the Promise” endowment funds, donors to the foundation can choose among a number of fund options, or create their own fund, to benefit their favorite charities.  In addition, the foundation offers life-income arrangements through various instruments.
