The Catholic Foundation Commission
The Catholic Foundation Commission will evaluate the feasibility of establishing a Diocesan foundation designed to inspire greater generosity and ensure sustained support for the Church’s mission.
To inform this strategy, the Commission will analyze philanthropic trends within the Diocese of Covington over the last 20 years, reviewing data across parishes, schools, and Diocesan ministries.
This process includes benchmarking against peer organizations to adopt best practices in annual funds, major gifts, and planned giving.
Strategic Focus Areas
To achieve our mission, the Commission operates through three specialized sub-committees, each focused on a critical pillar of our strategic planning.
