23 Grants Will Impact Our Growing Catholic Community
Mount St. Michael students share their gratitude. 

More than $887,000 was awarded to 23 recipients at the 2015 Catholic Foundation Spring Grant Ceremony, held at St. Paul the Apostle Parish Center in Richardson, Texas on April 14.  

 

"We thank The Catholic Foundation tremendously for helping us with this new technology that will help us serve our constituents better and to work more efficiently," said Jill Killam, Director of Finance and Administration at Holy Family Nazareth Church, which received a grant to update office technology.


 
Funds from this grant cycle will impact schools and parishes in the diocese of Dallas providing much needed support as our Catholic community has been effected by significant growth over the years. 


 
Special thanks to our Board of Trustees, all those who attended this grant ceremony, and Fr. Flori and the St. Paul staff for hosting.

How Can Planned Giving Work for Me?

At some point in your life you think about leaving your legacy - your stamp on the world around you. You think about how you can impact your family and community after you are gone, and you try to plan for the future. That's it, that's planned giving

It can be as simple as it sounds, and there are ways to help you plan for your charitable legacy. Is a bequest the best way to take care of all your interests? Perhaps a charitable remainder trust can be a better tool for the long term? Planned giving allows you to consider your goals and find the right giving tool with the maximum long term benefits.
