Funding Catholic Causes
Since 1947, CCS has had the unique experience of working closely with Catholic institutions to bridge the spiritual and the material.
Our experts help organizations bring together the best practices of fundraising with the broader mission of evangelization. Working side by side with clergy and other leaders, we have helped Dioceses and Archdioceses, parishes, Catholic Charities, Catholic schools, and other Catholic nonprofits around the world secure historic and transformational campaign gifts and meet annual appeal and offertory goals.
We are leaders and trusted advisors in the Catholic stewardship space, walking shoulder to shoulder with our client partners to ensure they are set up for long-term success.

I have been a part of a number of capital campaigns in my over 28 years of priesthood, but this one was beyond belief. With the assistance of CCS, we conducted A Sacred Vision— a parish-based campaign during which we raised over $20 million in the midst of the global pandemic. Unbelievable! I cannot say enough good about CCS and how they helped to make this possible. Their dedication and tenacity as well as their concern for our parishioners in a difficult time was inspiring. I wholeheartedly recommend CCS and would definitely use them again if I am called on to conduct another campaign.
