I have enjoyed my experience with the CCF Giving Circle (except for the part when I have to pick my top charities! They are all so deserving!!!) CCF does a great job vetting the charities that come to pitch so i know whoever receives a grant , my money is in good hands. I have been introduced to charities I did not know about. It is a wonderful group of people, coming together to make a huge difference to local non profits and the folks they serve.

I have had the pleasure of working with Catholic Community Foundation for the past 5 years. They have provided our parish with informative seminars on faith-filled ways to support the Church and her Mission, now and long into the future. I recommend Cathoilc Community Foundation to all who desire to know more about planned giving and to those who are ready to set up their plan. They are a trusted partner in the Mission of the Catholic Church.

Q: What is the difference between the Catholic Community Foundation (CCF) and Catholic Education Arizona (CEA)?

Q: What is the difference between the organizational funds: Catholic Savings Fund and Catholic Growth Fund?
Both funds are treated like a checking or savings account. The difference between the two is how they are invested. A Catholic Growth Fund is a fund that is placed in a moderately aggressive portfolio that allows for growth compared but is subject to market fluctuations. A Catholic Savings Fund is invested in a much lower risk portfolio that eliminates the market's peaks and valleys, but CCF guarantees a set annualized return rate. If you would like to learn more about which fund best suits your organization, please contact the Catholic Community Foundation at 480-651-8800.

Q: What is a Catholic Savings Fund?
A Catholic Savings Fund is essentially a savings fund for organizations. It provides a flexible short-term investment option that is superior to a bank savings account, CD, or stocks and bonds. Your organization gets a competitive interest rate with immediate access to your funds should your investment criteria change — and with no market fluctuations. The principal and the interest earned of the fund are also protected by the assets of CCF, providing a no-risk investment option for your organization.

Q: What is a Donor Advised Fund?
A Donor Advised Fund (DAF) is an individual charitable giving vehicle established with a minimum $10,000 gift to CCF for any general or specific purpose; grants are awarded by the Fund Adviser (individual donor) whenever they feel the desire to give. A DAF is a popular giving vehicle because it simplifies your charitable giving with one tax receipt but still provides continued support to the causes you love. If you would like to learn more about our Donor Advised Fund options, please contact CCF at 480-651-8800.

Q: What is a Planned Gift?
A planned gift is a contribution that is arranged in the present and allocated at a future date. A planned gift has no immediate financial impact on the donor but can provide significant support to the named beneficiary at the time of payout. Commonly donated through a will or trust, retirement plan, or even life insurance policy, planned gifts are most often granted once the donor has passed. A donor can name their parish, Catholic school, favorite nonprofit, or even CCF as a full or partial beneficiary of their estate. Planned gifts are an excellent option for those who are unable to provide support in the present but would like to make an everlasting impact on the organizations they love after they pass.

Q: What is the Giving Circle?
The Giving Circle is a unique and innovative program inspired by a new generation of donors. Each member is an active participant in the community grant-making process. In late winter, organizations are invited to pitch their need to Giving Circle members at an event called Pitch Day. Each member is asked to cast their vote on the causes that speak to them most. Votes are tallied and grant winners are announced. Throughout the year, members have an opportunity to connect with grant recipients during check granting day and site visits. The CCF Giving Circle is the ONLY Catholic giving circle in Arizona! Please visit here to learn more.
