Where do the funds raised from this event go?
Catholic Charities thanks all of our sponsors and donors for their generosity and support! In addition to the annual Bishop's Appeal, United Way, fees for services, investment income, and contract awards, we must still rely on the additional generosity of others to make up approximately 19% of our $2.8 million operating budget. This Inspired to Act event is an effort to make that up and to work to build financial sustainability. By attending this event, you are making a tangible difference in the lives of others!
Can I just donate if I'm unable to attend the event due to other plans?
Of course, and we thank you for your generous support! Simply click the "Donate" tab at the top of this webpage and then select the "Click to Donate" item to make a tax-deductible donation. You may also participate in the silent auction without attending the live event.
