Recognizing the importance of supporting the whole student in mind, body and spirit to foster positive learning outcomes, the Durham Catholic Children’s Foundation was launched in spring 2014. The Foundation enables a formal mechanism for coordinating charitable initiatives, and raising and distributing funds for Durham Catholic children by providing basic needs to the most vulnerable children and families in Durham Region.
