The Advancement Foundation - Catholic Diocese of Fort Worth

The Advancement Foundation is a separate 501(c)(3) Texas non-profit corporation, organized and operated exclusively for charitable, religious and educational purposes. As a separate corporation, it is an integrated auxiliary supporting the Catholic Diocese of Fort Worth, charged with receiving contributions intended to benefit supported activities and managing and distributing such contributions for the benefit of those supported activities.

The Advancement Foundation seeks to make a difference for the parishes, schools, programs and ministries of the Diocese by fostering a culture of Stewardship where its members prayerfully, intentionally and joyfully decide to commit a portion of their time, talent and treasure to serve the mission of Christ. We serve the Diocese by managing major philanthropic endeavors in a fiscally-responsible manner.

Our purpose is to educate, motivate and invigorate Stewardship, to garner resources in a fiscally transparent and responsible manner, and to manage and distribute solicited gifts for the immediate and long term needs of the faith community of the Catholic Diocese of Fort Worth.

Our Needs

Educating our future priests and deacons.
Caring for our retired and infirm priests.
Providing a classical Catholic education to all families who desire it for their children.
Eradicating poverty in the 28 counties we serve.
Providing financial support to rural and struggling Catholic parishes.

We need your help to raise $6,000 to offset the $10,000 needed for parish support.  We have 10 parishes that need at least $5000 currently to cover expenses.  Help us to raise these funds on behalf of our parishes!
