Generosity Takes Many Forms.
Catholic Charities Philanthropy
The generosity of individuals,
corporations
and foundations sustains
Catholic Charities’ capacity
to help in an environment
of increasing demand.
Catholic Charities is
grateful for that generosity
and, in particular, for the
volunteer leadership of
its fundraising efforts.
Cardinal’s Committee
For Charity (CCC)
The Cardinal’s Committee
for Charity is a membership
of caring leaders of the
New York business
community who support
Catholic Charities at the
request of His Eminence,
Edward Cardinal Egan.
CCC members provide
financial resources and
counsel to help solve the
problems of New Yorkers
in need. Catholic Charities
provides help and creates
hope without regard for
race, ethnicity, religion or
ability to pay. CCC similarly
seeks a diverse membership
that reflects the breadth
and depth of New York and
the businesses located here.
CCC business divisions
include Finance, Hospitality
and Tourism, Real Estate,
Accounting and Lawyers.
An emerging Hispanic
division recognizes the
contributions and needs
of the nation’s largest
minority population.
A Young Professionals
division offers volunteer
and philanthropic opportunities
to a new generation
of caring New Yorkers.
CCC seeks to attract a wide
circle of New Yorkers to
ensure that the business
community’s tradition of
philanthropy and concern
continues into the future.
The generosity of members
of CCC enables tens of
thousands of individuals
and families to live in
greater dignity through
the compassionate help
of Catholic Charities. CCC
helps generate resources
needed to support a
network of Catholic
Charities organizations
that promptly, locally, day
in and day out, rebuild lives
throughout ten counties
of the metropolitan area.
Generosity Takes
Many Forms

retirement plan assets,
gifts of life insurance and
real estate and volunteering
time and talents.
