We tackle some of the world’s toughest challenges, working alongside communities, partners, and grantees to create meaningful, lasting change. Through five initiatives, we support young children and their caregivers, expand opportunity and stability for young people, invest in and empower Catholic Sisters around the world, bring safe drinking water closer to homes, and support refugees and the communities that welcome them.
Our foundation is committed to investing in proven solutions that create lasting change through three key pillars:
With each endeavor, we are inspired by and learn from the organizations and individuals we work with. With every investment, we help create a better world, where all people and communities have the opportunity to thrive.

The Disaster Relief and Recovery portfolio provides fast and flexible funding for disaster prevention, relief and recovery measures around the world.
We support air transport partners in delivering urgent humanitarian aid globally in addition to providing vocational training and education in aviation and aerospace to underserved communities.
Every five years, we refresh our grantmaking strategy to respond to changing needs and build on what we have learned. Our previous five-year strategy included dedicated initiatives focused on Opportunity Youth, Foster Youth, and Homelessness. In our current strategy, we brought these together into a single Youth initiative to better address the overlapping barriers young people face and connect them to the full range of support they need.
