Generous Hearts Make a Big Difference

Because We Believe

At the Catholic Foundation, we believe in the power of the Catholic community to impact the world around us for good. We work to manifest God’s love by promoting human dignity and sharing Christ’s love. Our passion is rooted in the people of our communities, and through our aligned passions and authentic calling to live lives of love, mercy, and generosity, we are truly making a difference in West Michigan.

Donors work with the Catholic Foundation of West Michigan to amplify their giving impact and help build up God’s kingdom on earth.

  • Aligned Values – They know that strategic, values-aligned giving through the Foundation best supports the long-term needs of our Church and its ministries.
  • Connections – They understand that giving through the Foundation provides more opportunities to connect them to the Works of Mercy being performed by our many Catholic nonprofits.
  • Community – They want parishes, schools, and ministries to thrive without competing against each other.

We invite you to join us, give wholeheartedly, and build a lasting and profound legacy of generosity for today, tomorrow, and forever.
