When 2020 began it seemed like it was going to be a great year. However, all that changed quickly and so many will remember 2020 as the year of the Coronavirus Pandemic. I do not think anyone could have predicted something like this would ever happen in modern times. By mid-year many of us were sheltering in place, wearing masks, and trying to keep our families healthy. While many of us will remember the challenging times that we faced, we are happy to report that at the Catholic Foundation we faced many of these challenges and turned them into accom- plishments. We set up our home offices and began a new routine. We quickly learned how to set up zoom meetings so we could communicate with our donors and we began to re-envision our events like our annual Bishop’s Cup. I would like to thank all our donors. Because of your support we were able to meet our membership goal. As you know, it is through our membership donations that we can operate the Foundation office, so we do not have to charge management fees to each of our trust. We appreciate your generosity. We would also like to thank all our do- nors who supported the many trusts. As you read through this report, I hope that it generates pride within you. It is be- cause of your generosity that we can continue to grow the Foundation each year. I would like to thank the Investment Committee. The members of this committee were dedicated to ensuring our portfolio weathered the financial storm. They were committed to meeting weekly to keep a close eye on the market. I would like to also thank our Board of Directors who also had to learn new technology so we could meet via zoom to con- tinue to conduct business. As we look back on the year of 2020, as a country our resiliency will be remembered and at the Foundation, we will remember how our resiliency helped us to weather the storm. It is with great pride that we achieved so many accom- plishments through our dedication to our donors, portfolio management, membership drive and our golf tournament. All these accomplishments ensure the future success of our beneficiaries and ministries supported by The Foundation. The Foundation staff is here to help you with your legacy gift. Please contact our office and we will work with you on the type of gift that meets your philanthropic goals. As 2020 is behind us we look ahead to 2021 with optimism and a belief in our mission.
