CGS Fund
What is the CGS Fund?
The Catechesis of the Good Shepherd Fund (CGS Fund) was created to
support the growth and development of CGS through catechist formation,
missionary outreach, and the vision and goals of the National Association.
Who is supported?
The CGS Fund provides scholarships, underwrites grants to defray the
costs of starting new atria in underserved regions of the U.S. and
beyond, provides financial support for the National Association.
Where does the money come from?
The CGS Fund receives financial donations from people all over the
world who desire to grow in understanding of the religious potential of
the child.
CGS Fund Matching Gift Campaign
Challenge Grant
The CGS Fund Matching Gift Campaign was launched in 2006, on the basis
of a challenge to raise a matching $50,000 by 2010 through pledges and
cash contributions.
We hear from catechists all over the country who, as a result of being
introduced to the work, are falling in love with their faith all over
again.
“After my reading and observation, I realize the great value of
CGS. This makes me want to be a 5 year old again, and experience the
love of God in such a significant way. This is too good not to share.”
Why a Pledge?
The beauty of a pledge is that it allows us to plan responsibly for the
scholarship and atria start-up needs of catechists across the country
and beyond.
A pledge also allows us to consider the longer-term projects of the
National Association, in support of our growing membership. The CGS Fund
has gifted $75,000 to the Association since 2000, enabling us to hire a
much-needed formation director, offer national courses and workshops
like the Montessori Essentials Course in Nashville in 2007 and defray
the cost of updating our office computers and infrastructure.
