Is Your Foundation Built on Christ? A Spirituality of Diocesan and Foundation Fundraising

2:00 pm – 3:00 pm

Foundations carry great authority in (arch)dioceses by helping build gratitude and generosity for the faithful while bringing the mission of the Church alive through philanthropy. With some foundations removed from the daily life and the spiritual guidance of their diocese, it can be a challenge to keep focused on our deepest mission of strengthening the body of Christ while serving the mission of our foundations. What is a Catholic foundation’s role in building the spiritual life of the community? Jump into the conversation as we look back at our fundraising roots from the great fundraiser St. Paul and talk through how this impacts our role today as development professionals. Come learn together how our spiritual calling can inform our foundations to help lead the Church with vision and hope.
