TEN PERCENT OF ITS TOTAL CHARITABLE GRANTS ARE MADE TO NON-SECTARIAN ENTITIES, INSTITUTIONS THAT ARE DEFINED AS NON-RELIGIOUS AND NOT CHURCH RELATED. NINETY PERCENT OF ITS TOTAL CHARITABLE DISTRIBUTIONS ARE MADE TO SECTARIAN ENTITIES.

SERVICE ORGANIZATIONS AND CATHOLIC CHARITIES WHICH TARGET HEALTH, HUMAN SERVICES, THE INDIGENT, EQUAL OPPORTUNITY, AND SERVICE TO OTHERS ARE ALSO FAVORED. BY CONTINUALLY EVOKING THE FOUNDATION'S CORE VALUES WHEN MAKING GRANT DECISIONS, THE FOUNDATION IS ABLE TO HELP COUNTLESS NUMBERS OF PEOPLE.
