Our administrative fees, or as we like to call them, Mission Support Fees, help the Foundation to administer the programs of the Foundation that allow us to give back to the causes and missions of other Catholic institutions who strive to impact our community every day.
Without this support we would be unable to administer the Christian Service Awards and the Catholic Giving Circle granting program. The Foundation also gives back by sponsoring Catholic community events and key initiatives within the community. Visit our Newsletter page for examples of how we give back.
It is the Foundation’s goal to become increasingly efficient as time passes. The leaner we are able to be, the more we can pass on savings by reducing fees and increasing our community outpouring. An example of this is in just the past year, where the Foundation reduced its office footprint by nearly 60%! Additionally, as we experience growth, we expect to pass on even more savings as a result of economies of scale.
