About the CFDD

The Catholic Foundation for the Diocese of Davenport was established in the State of Iowa as a non-profit corporation in February 2009.
 
Our annual audit is posted on the Foundation page of our diocesan website.
 
The cost of operating the foundation is minimal. Costs include audit expenses, some reimbursements of salary for staff who work for the diocese, pledge reminder mailings, credit card and electronic transfer costs. This is less than one percent of the total value of the foundation.
 
A Board of Directors governs the Catholic Foundation. This board meets triannual and follows the State of Iowa laws for a non-profit. Our By-laws direct that the Foundation have between eight and eleven directors representing all deaneries.
 
The board has investment and spending policies which can be found on the web page along with other policies and a list of Board of Directors.
 
The Catholic Foundation accepts additional donations and estate gifts. These are invested in funds as specified by the donor and will live on for many years to benefit the ministries of the Diocese of Davenport and our Catholic schools. The Foundation also accepts endowment funds for parishes, schools, and the diocese. Donors are encouraged to contribute funds for endowment and to establish a Donor Advised Fund.
