The Catholic Education Foundation was formed in 1990 as an independent 501 (c) (3) organization for the primary purpose of supporting the growth and vitality of Catholic parishes and schools in the Archdiocese of Louisville, Kentucky. The Foundation is committed to growing Catholic school enrollment throughout the Archdiocese by making a Catholic education available to anyone who with a demonstrated financial need as determined by a third party application.

Our Vision is that every child has access to a Catholic education.

Our Mission is to raise sufficient funds to support Catholic education and make Catholic schools accessible by everyone.

We support Catholic education through grants for:

• Tuition assistance for families
• Technology enhancements for our parishes and schools
• Professional development for educators and catechists
• Religious education for parishes and schools

An independent Board of Directors governs the Foundation and oversees the management of the organization. All funds received by the Foundation are managed by an Investment Committee of the Board and all grant awards are approved by the Catholic Education Foundation Board of Directors.
