Your Catholic Generosity

Today. Tomorrow. Forever.

Building a vibrant Catholic future in central Illinois through faithful stewardship

Welcome & Mission Statement

Welcome to the Catholic Stewardship Foundation. We partner with faithful Catholics throughout the Diocese of Springfield in Illinois who want to create lasting legacies that support the Church and her ministries for generations to come. Whether you're passionate about strengthening your parish, supporting Catholic education, forming future priests, or advancing the broader mission of our diocese, we're here to help you make a meaningful difference that extends far beyond your lifetime.

Through the generosity of donors like you, we steward $65 million in endowments and charitable assets, distributing approximately $2.4 million each year to parishes, Catholic schools, seminarians, and diocesan ministries across central Illinois. Our independent board of lay stewards ensures your gifts are managed faithfully and distributed according to your intentions, while our experienced team makes planned giving simple and accessible. Together, we're building a vibrant Catholic future—one generous gift at a time.
