The Catholic Foundation in the Archdiocese of Dubuque (CFAD) is excited to announce the beginning of the inaugural discretionary grant program! The St. Katharine Drexel Grant provides funding assistance in the 30 counties of the Archdiocese of Dubuque to Catholic parishes, schools, apostolates, associations, ministries, or other organizations which operate under the jurisdiction of, or further the mission of, the Archdiocese or the universal Roman Catholic Church.

CFAD is spotlighted at the end of the research article “Catholic Foundations in the U.S. Revisited: A sector update with a look at transparency” published by financial services provider Wilmington Trust. We’re also mapped as one of the largest US Catholic foundations.

The St. Katharine Drexel Fund will provide grants to new initiatives at Catholic organizations in the 30 counties that make up the Archdiocese of Dubuque.
