Total $1,475,900

"Over $400,000 was raised via direct mail or on-line giving appeals. This is unprecedented in the history of FaithWorks"

Peter Misiaszek, Director of Stewardship Development


After a stellar 2021, celebrating FaithWorks' 25th anniversary with the 100+1% Challenge, the FaithWorks 2022 campaign held its own against the post-Covid headwind.


At the same time the requests for assistance from FaithWorks in 2023 have increased by 35%. Inflation, a looming recession and increased economic vulnerability for many people continue to make these challenging times.


Thank you to all our donors for their generosity

in 2022.

We ask for your continuing generosity in 2023.

A $100,000 Matching Challenge Grant for 2023

 

A generous donor has offered a $100,000 matching challenge grant for all new and increased donations. That means for every dollar raised over last year’s amount, by an individual or parish, FaithWorks receives an extra dollar. We encourage you to make a special effort this year –

 

doing a little more can make twice the difference.
