The Foundation's mission is to support initiatives that align with the teachings and values of the Catholic faith, focusing specifically on education, leadership development, and community-building efforts that strengthen families, parishes, and address challenges such as poverty, discrimination, and violence.
The Catholic Community Foundation grants focus on funding limited-term projects and programs specifically in healthcare in Milwaukee. Through a fund established by the St. Anthony Foundation, it supports organizations that offer health care services in Milwaukee, with a particular emphasis on helping central city areas once served by St. Anthony Hospital. These grants represent the Foundation's commitment to addressing healthcare needs in underserved communities.
