Catholic Schools

Catholic Schools
GHR Foundation's Catholic Schools funding works to ensure Twin Cities’ urban Catholic schools are faith-filled, academically excellent educational communities that prepare children to be college-ready, productive citizens.

GHR supports Catholic schools in three ways:

Driving school excellence – Promoting best practices in the areas of finances, procurement, data collection and assessment
Testing and incubating new models – Funding new approaches in instruction, student support and governance
Building new funding sources – Exploring both public and private revenue sources

We are focused on the following outcomes:

Academic quality
Fiscal sustainability
Serving the whole child

We also work with Twin Cities' urban schools to improve literacy, science and math instruction and technology. We fund projects that align assessments with instruction and strengthen fiscal sustainability, while maintaining a strong Catholic identity.
