Allocation of Funds
Investment of Campaign Funds
The Living Christ campaign seeks to raise a minimum of $65 million to fund the ministries outlined throughout this website. Making a sacrificial commitment is always a very personal decision for one’s family, and to ensure that gifts are made in confidence and securely, the Diocese of Toledo has established a separate 501c3 foundation to hold and invest funds raised during the campaign.
