The Heart of Our Story:
Hope, Then and Now
Catholic Charities was founded on a simple but powerful idea: people stepping forward to help care for one another. From the earliest days of adoption and family support to the many programs we steward today, our mission has always been rooted in community generosity.
As we celebrate 100 years of service, we invite you to help adopt Catholic Charities into the next century—by supporting the people, programs, and places that make hope possible every day.
Adoption is part of our DNA. From our earliest beginnings, Catholic Charities has been built on people stepping forward to care for others—offering stability, dignity, and hope for the future.
Today, adopting the Centennial means choosing how your generosity comes to life. You may give broadly through the Centennial Fund, providing flexible support for essential programs and services, or direct your gift to a specific area of impact that matters most to you. Every gift helps Catholic Charities respond to urgent needs, adapt to emerging challenges, and carry hope forward—for today and for the next 100 years.
Your Support Shapes the Next 100 Years
For a century, Catholic Charities has been sustained by people who chose to care—who believed that hope is something we build together. Because the majority of our work is made possible through philanthropy, your support truly matters. Whether you give through a donation or choose to adopt an area of impact, your generosity helps meet urgent needs today, strengthens programs for tomorrow, and ensures Catholic Charities remains a trusted presence for generations to come.
