Creating a Legacy of Support for the Apostolates and Ministries of the Diocese of Colorado Springs
In January of 2025, the Board of Directors created the Stewards of the Catholic Foundation of the Diocese of Colorado Springs. The Stewards are individuals or couples who contribute a gift or pledge of $25,000 or more to the Stewards Endowment.
As the name suggests, the Stewards, by their generous gift, have made a contribution for the long-term and sustainable future of the Catholic Foundation and the faithful served by the Diocese. All Stewards gifts are invested and allow for an annual draw from a percentage of the income generated. With each Steward comes additional support and a brighter future for the practice of the Catholic Faith in the Diocese of Colorado Springs.
The Stewards hold an annual reception at the residence of the Bishop of the Diocese of Colorado Springs, and are recognized as the preeminent giving society of the Catholic Foundation.
To learn more about the Stewards, please contact John Schlageter at (202) 230-4316. To join, please fill out the attached Stewards Pledge form.
