Community Initiatives

The Catholic Foundation of Greater Philadelphia regularly launches and supports initiatives like the following efforts, all part of our demonstrated commitment to our Catholic community within the Archdiocese of Philadelphia.

Create Your Catholic Legacy

In May 2024, we launched Create Your Catholic Legacy Awareness Month to educate people on how they can support their parish or a Catholic cause close to their hearts through gifts in their wills, trusts, or estate plans. Our efforts didn’t end there, however. We are called to continue nurturing this legacy of faith, hope, and love, making every day an opportunity to contribute to our community's strength and resilience. Whether you'd like to review planned giving opportunities for the first time or if you have already included a Catholic organization, ministry, or program in your estate plans, we would love to connect with you.

#iGiveCatholic

This effort is staged on the global #GivingTuesday (the Tuesday following Black Friday and Cyber Monday). Recognized by the Church as the official Catholic Giving Day, #iGiveCatholic seeks to unite Catholic communities and donors nationwide in supporting Catholic parishes, schools, and nonprofit ministries. Since 2020, our first year participating, The Catholic Foundation of Greater Philadelphia has raised more than $6 million and supported hundreds of Catholic entities within the Archdiocese of Philadelphia.
