The Catholic Foundation in Columbus, Ohio functions as a philanthropic fundraising organization that converts donor generosity into funding for parishes, education, vocations, and church ministries within the diocese. It helps donors establish charitable funds to support both current needs and future priorities, and it distributes earnings in alignment with donor intent and the guidelines of the USCCB for socially responsible investing. Since its founding in 1984, the foundation has granted more than $200 million across the 23-county diocese of Columbus and beyond. The foundation is based in Columbus and operates with a small to mid-sized staff serving a regional Catholic community. In December 2024, it announced a partnership with Catholic Charities to run a Christmas Gift Drive aimed at bringing joy to refugee children.
