The Papal Foundation is a charitable organization in the United States exclusively dedicated to fulfilling the requests of the Holy Father for the needs of the Catholic Church in developing countries.
Since its inception in 1988, The Papal Foundation and its Stewards of Saint Peter have allocated $200 million in grants and scholarships around the world to more than 2000 projects selected by Popes Francis and Benedict, and Saint John Paul II.
The impact of Papal Foundation has been staggering, providing support in full or in part for:
churches & chapels
seminaries
rectories, convents & monasteries
schools
hospitals
Join a Distinctive Community of Philanthropic Leaders
The Papal Foundation is funded through the generosity of a select group of North American Catholic philanthropists who are committed to bringing the love of Christ to a world in need and being intimately connected with the work of the Church and the Holy Father.
It is not enough to say we are Christians. We must live the faith, not only with our words, but with our actions.
