Philanthropy to Catholic Extension and our deserv- ing mission dioceses would not be what it has
been for more than 110 years with- out the tremendous support we receive from charitable foundations across the United States.
Catholic faith communities in poor and rural areas of our coun- try have received funding not only from the many individual donors who have supported Catholic Extension throughout our history but also from the generosity of national and local foundations.
Foundation grants have funded priests, lay leaders, ministries, sis- ters, schools and church buildings as well as helped to launch some of our newest Strategic Initiatives such as the U.S. Latin American Sisters Exchange Program and the Health Ministry Initiative.
