Grounded in the principles of faith and service, CFGP meets the diverse needs of donors and Catholic institutions through charitable fund management and development consulting.

Since then, CFGP has been working to become the leading resource for Catholic and faith-based philanthropy.
Today, CFGP works with donors to manage their charitable funds, helping them choose investment opportunities that meet their needs.

By assisting both groups, CFGP helps multiply the impact of Catholic ministries for the people of the Greater Philadelphia region.
