The Catholic Foundation is a philanthropic fundraising organization that manages endowments and channels grants to Catholic programs and communities. Founded in 1991 as part of the Archdiocesan Pastoral Plan, it has built more than $36 million in endowment assets, which have supported over $11.5 million in grants and distributions to advance its mission. Based in Albuquerque, New Mexico, it collaborates with clergy and lay leaders to identify critical needs and direct resources to high-impact initiatives. Its grantmaking supports a range of services, including aid for the poor, making Catholic education more accessible, pastoral vocations, care for retired priests, youth spiritual formation, and care for homebound elderly. A recent development shows the foundation engaging in disaster-relief efforts through support to Catholic Charities Dallas in response to Hurricane Harvey.
