As a separate legal entity from the Diocese of El Paso, the Catholic Foundation is not affected by the recent reorganization of the Roman Catholic Diocese of El Paso. We remain committed to our core purpose of raising funds necessary to sustain the parishes, schools, ministries, and charities that continue the teachings of Jesus Christ in our Diocese. All monies raised through the Catholic Foundation are only used for the parishes, programs, services, and ministries for which they are designated. No gifts are used to satisfy legal fees or settlement costs associated with the Roman Catholic Diocese of El Paso’s reorganization.

Now more than ever, we are counting on the community to help us fulfill that mission. Our hearts and prayers remain with the victims and their families.

CORONAVIRUS RELIEF BILL — What does this mean for Charitable Deductions?

One provision of the Coronavirus Relief Bill allows taxpayers who do not itemize their taxes the ability to deduct up to $300 in cash donations made to a charity in 2020. Even if you take a standard deduction, this applies to you! This is a great opportunity to reduce your tax burden while helping the diocesan community through contributions to the Foundation.

If you would like to make a donation to help continue supporting the Foundation for the Diocese of El Paso, click here. You can donate to an endowment for your favorite parish, ministry or school with a forever gift, contribute to Progress: the Catholic Ministry Appeal, and support the 14th Annual Foundation of Faith Event: Come and See. There is something for everyone.
