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 Supporting Catholic Charities’ response to nearly every human need takes many forms: cash gifts, gifts of marketable securities, planned gifts, gifts of retirement plan assets, gifts of life insurance and real estate and volunteering time and talents. Chorus of Angels Giving Club Individuals interested in supporting the work of Catholic Charities can make their annual giving easier and more efficient by joining the Chorus of Angels Giving Club. Donors become Angels by making their gifts through automatic monthly credit-card payments. St. Nicholas Project The St. Nicholas Project carries on the tradition of generosity and charity characteristic of St. Nicholas, the third century Bishop of Myra. While associated with Christmas, St. Nicholas served the poor throughout the year. Caring staff helps year round with emergency and long-term support. At Christmas time, our Adopt-A-Family Program provides gifts of necessities such as coats, scarves, gloves and blankets to more than 2,100 individuals. Catholic Charities donors and volunteers partner with Kmart®, UPS, and others to ensure a Merry Christmas for all. Young Professionals Focused on volunteerism, outreach and fundraising to support client services, Young Professionals cultivates Catholic Charities’ next generation of volunteer and philanthropic leadership. This group coordinates volunteer projects including St. Nicholas Project holiday programs and hosts fundraising events to support the work of Catholic Charities. Regina Coeli This is our honorary society for those who include 20
Catholic Charities in their estate plans or establish life-income arrangements with Catholic Charities. It provides Catholic Charities a way to express our thanks for legacy gifts during the donor’s lifetime, offering special recognition and benefits, including an annual Mass at the Cathedral of St. Patrick followed by a private reception. Membership involves no dues, obligations or solicitations. Wills and Bequests Catholic Charities welcomes wills and bequests to support its programs and services. Charitable bequests should specify that they are for The Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of New York. Special Events Special events occur throughout the year to support Catholic Charities ‘ varied programs and efforts. Individuals, corporations, foundations and the Cardinal’s Committee for Charity support these events, enabling Catholic Charities to raise additional funds. Events also enhance community outreach and understanding of services we provide. The Club of Champions Tribute Dinner raises money to support the Catholic Youth Organization (CYO), serving tens of thousands of young people each year through athletic, social, spiritual and cultural activities and services. Funds raised at this annual dinner provide critical resources for our inner-city community centers, parish-based athletic programs, summer camp for disabled and minority youth, teen leadership and youth ministry programs.
