Ways You Can Get Involved

CORPORATE AND FOUNDATION SUPPORT

Catholic Charities is one of the most comprehensive providers of social services to low-income individuals and families in the Washington, D.C., metropolitan region.  We address critical needs such as safe housing, food security, and emergency rental assistance; increase access to medical, dental, and behavioral healthcare services; promote an inclusive community for people of all abilities; protect human rights and dignity through civil and immigration legal services; and create economic opportunities through employment training, workforce development, and adult education, among many other services. Catholic Charities’  programs align with numerous corporate and private foundation philanthropic giving priorities.

SPONSOR AN EVENT

Throughout the year, Catholic Charities offers opportunities to sponsor and attend events that are not only successful and fun but benefit the poor and most vulnerable in our area. Our events include the Catholic Charities annual Gala in the spring, Catholic Charities Legal Network Golf Tournament in the fall, several 83.33 Society service activities, peer-to-peer fundraisers and many others. Sponsoring an event is a great way to support Catholic Charities and network with peers.

EMPLOYEE GIVING CAMPAIGN

We make it easy. We help your campaign align with the direct and lasting impact of your company’s employees’ donations.
