Catholic United Financial, (formerly known as Catholic Aid Association) founded in 1878, is a fraternal benefit organization serving more than 74,000 members in Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota, Wisconsin and Iowa. Our financial products provide our members with the life insurance and retirement savings options they need while allowing them the opportunity to impact their Catholic parishes, s
chools and communities. Catholic United Financial Foundation (formerly known as Catholic Aid Association Foundation), was legally formed as a 501(c)(3) on December 17, 1997, to return our profits to our Catholic communities in the forms of grants, scholarships and direct assistance. The Foundation strives to strengthen our faith and provide support to others, not because they are Catholic, but...because WE are Catholic. We serve the members, employees, and friends of Catholic United Financial, a not-for-profit fraternal benefit society, by:
• Being accountable to our donors and faithful to our Church's mission
• Supporting Catholic schools and parishes with technology grants
• Providing support for chastity education
• Bringing a Catholic presence to natural disaster sites with our disaster response team, providing training and equipment for spontaneous volunteers
• Supplementing the cost of educating and training men for the priesthood.
