Sustaining Our Mission for the Greater Good

Mission Support Fees

Sustaining Our Mission for the Greater Good

To sustain our commitment and ensure proper stewardship of all entrusted funds, CLFA assesses mission support fees that allow us to effectively serve donors and stakeholders, manage investments to benefit the greater good, and facilitate grants that support the mission of the Church.

How Mission Support Fees Work

Mission support fees cover essential services such as:


  • Receipt and acknowledgment of contributions
  • Donor services and fund management
  • Processing and disbursement of grants
  • Investment oversight in alignment with Catholic social teaching
  • Accountability reporting for grantee organizations


All fees are reviewed and approved annually by the CLFA Board of Directors and vary depending on the type of fund. Investment fees are determined by our investment partners and fluctuate with market conditions.

How it Works

  • Special Services — If a fund requires additional administrative efforts, CLFA may assess an additional charge as outlined in the fund agreement (e.g., legal due diligence, high transaction volumes, or special grant-related publications).
  • Illiquid Asset Gifts — A 4% fee applies to gifts of illiquid assets, with direct expenses also charged.
  • Quarterly Fees — Administrative fees are charged quarterly and reflected in fund performance reports.
  • Investment Fees — Separate from administrative fees, investment-related fees are directly charged to funds. Additional details are available upon request.
