The Catholic Foundation of Greater Philadelphia (CFGP) is officially eight years old! Since 2013, we’ve been working to grow philanthropy according to the teachings of Jesus Christ for all ministries of the Church in Philadelphia.
In celebration of our birthday, I’d like to share some of my fondest memories and proudest moments since the foundation first opened its doors. It’s been an incredible experience watching this brand-new nonprofit take shape, and I feel very fortunate to have been a part of it.
Several of my favorite moments at CFGP have been when all of our staff has volunteered or fundraised as a group. We started doing this in 2018, and since then have either volunteered in person or hosted fundraisers for food, Christmas presents and essential items that we then donated to local Catholic organizations and ministries. These community projects allow us to have a deeper connection with our brothers and sisters
