Match funds inspire others to give
When friends of Catholic Charities established a $100,000 matching fund for the agency’s annual year-end appeal, they expressed their hope that their commitment would inspire others to give generously to the campaign. They were not disappointed.
New and current donors alike supported the appeal, helping Catholic Charities receive the full $100,000 in matching funds. Those matching dollars essentially doubled the impact of the gifts received, helping more people by providing more services.
What is the impact of $200,000 received into Catholic Charities’ Faithful Servant Fund? The Faithful Servant Fund allows Catholic Charities to address the most urgent needs within our ministries in the areas of hunger & homelessness, domestic violence, enrichment services and mission support.
Here is the impact of $200,000
Provides three daily meals for the children and adults staying at St. Anthony Family Shelter for three months.
Feeds 349 families coming to Our Daily Bread Food Pantry by providing food for three days
Shelters 20 families fleeing abuse for one month at Harbor House Domestic Violence Shelter.
