Leadership Development: Forming leaders for parishes, schools and agencies who can engage others in creating a vision, strategies and infrastructures to advance the Church. Community Building: Supporting initiatives that strengthen families and parishes and help those suffering from poverty, discrimination and violence.

Anthony Foundation for organizations providing health care services in Milwaukee, especially in central city areas formerly served by St. Anthony Hospital. We focus on organizations listed in the Official Catholic Directory.
Other tax-exempt 501(c)(3) organizations whose missions are consistent with that of the church may also apply. The majority of a fund’s grants should be directed to the 10 counties of the Archdiocese of Milwaukee: Milwaukee, Waukesha, Ozaukee, Washington, Dodge, Racine, Kenosha, Walworth, Sheboygan and Fond du Lac. The Catholic Community Foundation awards grants for limited-term projects and programs.
We rarely fund multi-year grants or make capital and endowment grants; do not provide emergency funds; and depending on circumstances, may choose not to award grants to an organization for more than two consecutive years (except for health care services grants from the St. Anthony Fund).
