About ST ALPHONSUS CHURCH FOUNDATION

St. Alphonsus Church Foundation is the endowment and foundation arm associated with St. Alphonsus Parish in Grand Rapids, Michigan. It manages the parish’s education endowment funds and governed giving vehicles that provide scholarships, program grants, capital support and other long-term funding for parish education and faith-formation programs. In recent years the foundation has been an active financial steward for the parish: the Education Endowment includes multiple named funds (general and donor-designated), supports annual awards and scholarships distributed at the parish’s Baccalaureate Mass, and collaborates closely with All Saints Academy and parish ministries to fund tuition assistance, programmatic needs, and occasional capital improvements. Recent Form 990 filings show strong investment income driving asset growth and continued grant support to parish education and ministry activities (fiscal years 2022–2024).

Notable achievements

Established Education Endowment

Originated as the St. Alphonsus School Endowment in 1994 and later expanded to support broader parish educational and faith-formation activities after the creation of All Saints Academy.

Provides recurring grants, scholarships, and awards (examples include the Sister Olga Mizzi Award, Sister Roberta Hefferan Recognition Award, Sean Earl Award, and Pat Reagan Pay It Forward Award) distributed at the parish’s Baccalaureate Mass and through parish education programs.
