What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
Conference on Business & Ethics
The Conference on Business & Ethics (CBE) is an annual forum for business leaders in Orange County and raises funds to provide tuition assistance for elementary Catholic school students in the Diocese of Orange. Sponsorship of this event impacts the lives of many students who will directly benefit from your generosity today and in the future as they become our future business, community and spiritual leaders.
Society of Our Lady of Guadalupe
The Society of Our Lady of Guadalupe is a group of philanthropic leaders who provide meaningful support for the greatest needs within the Catholic community of Orange County. Members also share in spiritual activities and social events on a regular basis with the Orange Catholic Foundation leadership in support of further strengthening the Church community serving the Diocese of Orange.
Members are committed to advancing the mission of the Church through prayers, active participation and philanthropic support benefitting the following areas: Catholic Education; Priests Retirement; Christ Cathedral.
Orange Catholic Schools Fund
The Orange Catholic Schools Fund will help plant seeds of hope in our community!
The continued vitality and growth of our Catholic schools is a top strategic priority for diocesan and lay leaders alike. To secure the future of Catholic schools in our diocese, we need to come together to strengthen and advance these vital areas:
1. Tuition assistance
2. Academic excellence and robust faith-filled programs
3. Emphasis on Catholic values and a supportive environment
4. Technology and infrastructure
The Orange Catholic Schools Fund will support families in need, it will provide continuing education for our teachers, technology updates in our classrooms, funding for new science, arts and language programs.
Priests Retirement Fund
Priests have dedicated their lives to serving the needs of the Catholic Church and our community. From baptism to entering eternal life, our priests have been there and we should be there for our priests. Join us in providing retired priests the accommodations, heath care and support they need, so they can live their retirement in dignity.
Cathedral Gala
The Cathedral Gala is The Orange Catholic Foundation's largest benefit event of the year. The event provides vital funds toward the $10 million the Foundation needs to raise each year to offer essential support to the most critical needs to further its mission. The 2022 Cathedral Gala's Special Appeal opportunity will go to support the Priests Retirement Fund.
Catholic Emergency Response Fund
The Catholic Emergency Response Fund was established in response to the sudden and urgent economic impact being felt by individuals and families throughout our parishes as a result of COVID-19.
The Catholic Emergency Response Fund will provide parishes and their outreach programs with emergency funding to support individuals and families who are in sudden need of resources.
