Donate Here
In addition to fundraising events and activities, the Catholic Youth Organization conducts two annual appeals and offers a diverse range of opportunities for donors to contribute in support of CYO. Below is a description of each fund.
Center-City Financial Assistance Fund
The Center-City Financial Assistance Fund is designed to provide assistance to the inner-city Catholic school CYO programs. This fund has provided assistance in areas such as: uniforms, equipment, maintenance, participation fees and general improvements.
Fr. John Elford Campership Fund
Each year we offer financial assistance to over 30% of our CYO Camp attendees. Children who would otherwise be unable to spend a week at camp are given that opportunity because of your generosity. One hundred percent of the money donated to the Father John Elford Campership Fund is used to help children attend CYO Camp.
Memorial / Tribute Fund
Many individuals donate to us in memory of a deceased friend or relative or as a tribute that acknowledges a birthday or an anniversary of someone who is or has been involved with CYO.
Patrons Fund
This annual appeal fund is an unrestricted fund used to support all of our programs and helps to bridge the gap between our income and expenses.
Sahm-Kuntz Legacy Fund, Corporate Partnership
Designed to provide financial support for CYO programs now and in the future,Sahm-Kuntz Legacy Fund corporate partners annually contribute $1,500.00 to the organization. Fifty percent of a corporation’s Sahm-Kuntz Legacy Fund gift is used for operating expenses and the other half is placed into an endowment fund.
Planned Giving Program
The CYO has developed a Planned Giving Program for donors who are interested in providing support for the Catholic Youth Organization in the future.
