History
The Catholic Community Foundation was established in 2004 by Bishop John J. Nevins as an independent 501(c)(3) not-for-profit (EIN# 54-2119051), with its own by-laws, Board of Directors, and staff professionals. The Foundation helps donors create lasting Catholic Legacies by working with them to provide long-term support and sustainability to the Catholic entities and programs about which they care most. These include Catholic Schools, Catholic Charities, Parishes, Seminarian education, programs for the needy, college scholarships and more.
For the fiscal year ending June 30, 2022, the Foundation distributed $5,253,248 in support throughout the Diocese of Venice and beyond thanks to the generosity of the many donors that have already established their Catholic Legacies through the Foundation.
