Say hello to the Catholic Community Fund

For more than 60 years, the Catholic Development Fund has given back to our Diocese.

It might have been by financing the construction of schools, supporting CatholicCare’s Community Programs or funding parish initiatives – their contribution to our region can be measured in many ways.

And while the team continues to do their incredible work, they have a new sense of excitement for the future after launching a new name for the organisation – Catholic Community Fund (CCF).

The new title encapsulates their work and dedication to the growth of our Diocese. 

“We have changed our name because we believe Catholic Community Fund reflects what our Fund stands for, what we represent and our focus for the future,” Fund and Treasury Manager Jenny Chung said.

“Many people may not know that over the last 10 years alone, the Fund has provided or given back over $43 million to support the charitable works of the Diocese and its agencies. 

“The community is at the heart of everything we do, so it made sense for us to represent this in our name.”

The CCF exists to provide an avenue for members to support their financial goals while positively contributing to their community.

By harnessing the financial resources of the Diocese and its broader community, the CCF can deliver effective funding strategies to build schools, community housing, various facilities for CatholicCare, fund parish initiatives and many other fantastic works in our community. 

So, why should you invest in the CCF?

“Investing with the CCF is a commitment to the community in which you live and work, whilst taking care of your own financial future,” Jenny said.

“Our members are making a significant difference to the lives of others in their community. While the Fund works for you, your funds are working for others.”
