Foundations in Charity is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation created by Bishop Frank Caggiano as a foundation to support the work of Catholic charities. The foundation is run by a fiduciary board of trustees made up of lay volunteers.Since 1916, the Catholic Church in Fairfield County, through Catholic Charities and other Catholic organizations, provided programs that feed the hungry and homebound, shelter the homeless, strengthen families, assist the physically and emotionally challenged, and deliver consultation and assistance to immigrants. As people of faith, we serve all people without regard to age, race, religion, or ability to pay. Catholic Charities is one of the largest private social service providers in Connecticut.
