The Catholic Foundation of Greater Philadelphia is pleased to announce the establishment of the Impact Fund. This fund will transform generosity into impact by ensuring The Catholic Foundation, a leader in Catholic philanthropy, has the tools, resources, and flexibility necessary to address the emerging needs of the faith community.

Ted Qualli, President and CEO of The Catholic Foundation, underscored the Foundation’s recent achievements and its growing impact. “In the past year alone, we have brought a new planned giving awareness initiative to the Church of Philadelphia, established an interactive granting cycle to catalyze innovative evangelization efforts in our region, and helped raise critical funds for over 30 initiatives throughout the five-county area.”

The Impact Fund empowers The Catholic Foundation to provide innovative philanthropic solutions and resources that multiply and sustain the impact of Catholic ministries serving the people of Greater Philadelphia.

To inspire even greater generosity, Richard and Angela Clark have pledged to match all gifts made to the Impact Fund in 2024, up to $250,000. This generous challenge amplifies the potential for donors to create a ripple effect of positive change throughout the region.

“We are proud to advance this important work in partnership with selfless and devoted donors, like yourself, who commit their resources to impact the good works of parishes and ministries, organizations and individuals across the region, as well as the Archdiocese itself,” Qualli added.
