Types of Partnership
Financial
Catholic Charities’ largest source of financial support comes from individual donors. We rely on this support from community members to fulfill our mission daily and focus on wisely using donor funds to maximize impact. Our dedication to using donor dollars effectively allows us to provide help and hope to tens of thousands of people each year.
In-Kind
In-kind donations are non-cash gifts—such as food, clothing, equipment, or professional services like accounting, plumbing, or legal advice. They save us money, freeing funds for essential programs and operations while directly supplying needed goods and services to those in need. These donations also reduce waste by giving new life to unused items. Overall, in-kind gifts help us stretch resources, broaden their impact, and better fulfill our mission.
Volunteer
Volunteers are a core resource and are foundational to distributing millions of pounds of food, youth support and a helping hand around the holidays. The hours that our dedicated volunteers donate provide support to our staff.
