This fund supports the charitable purposes of Catholic Charities – Aurora, a professional family service and child welfare agency.
The agency has served the Aurora community since 1942.
Current programs, which are available to people of all faiths, include adoption, counseling for single mothers, individual and family counseling, foster care, community outreach and parenting education.
A community foundation is a donor-driven organization that helps donors custom-design funds that reflect their charitable interests. Through the years, grants from these funds have made a significant impact on our local communities.
Sharon Stredde
President Emeritus
As a first-generation college student from a low-income family, I was worried about how I was going to pay for books and supplies. This scholarship will allow me to focus more on my studies instead of worrying about how to afford college. I am working to not only create opportunities for myself but to motivate future generations. Thank you so much for helping me along this journey!

…you can always start small, even $25 can make a difference. Remember we can’t take our money with us. Even if it’s just your gift of time. Volunteer and get involved.
