Thirty-five years ago, our initial focus was to establish endowments for Catholic Education. Even today, 141 of our 300 endowments provide tuition assistance and scholarships to students enrolled in Catholic elementary and high schools as well as seminarians and campus ministry.

The following schools receive annual financial support from Catholic-invested endowments under our stewardship. If you wish to make a charitable contribution in honor or memory of a loved one into an endowment with a credit card, please begin by searching our online catalog here.  If you wish to mail in a contribution, please make the check payable to “Independent Catholic Foundation” P. O. Box 31, Altoona, PA 16603-0031, with a note designating your gift to a specific endowment.
