A good education is the most important thing you can give to a child. It is the foundation on which they will build much of their future success and happiness. The solid education provided by Catholic schools has become more important than ever. Catholic Family Life Insurance (CFLI) recognizes the value of a quality Catholic education and has a long-standing tradition of supporting Catholic schools.

Our Support

Each year we provide an average of over $400,000
to Catholic education. We offer support to Catholic students and their schools through a variety of programs:

...Tuition Assistance to Students Grade 3-12
...Grants for Seminary Studies
...Local Chapter Fund-Raising Events
...Adopt-A-School Program
...Society Matching Funds & Donations

In 1997, CFLI convention delegates passed a resolution that chose support of Catholic schools as the national cause of Catholic Family Life Insurance. That initiative has since been titled Catholic Schools for America.

Local Chapters

Our local chapters take an active part in our national cause. We have recently established an Adopt-A-School program and encourage local chapters to adopt Catholic schools and provide a combination of financial and volunteer support.

Matching Funds

Whether a chapter chooses to adopt one school or work with several in the community, they enjoy offering assistance by holding fund-raising events to benefit schools. Through CFLI's Matching Funds Program, chapter members donate approximately $325,000 to Catholic schools each year.

Catholic Family offers grants to members whose children attend Catholic schools. Students enrolled in grades 3-8 can receive up to $200 towards their tuition. Catholic high school students can apply for $350 grants. Since 1971, more than $1.2 million has been granted through our Tuition Aid Grant Program. In addition to these funds, additional scholarships are made available for seminary study.

CFL Education Foundation

In 2000, we established the Catholic Family Life Education Foundation to further enhance our support. The fund, a 501(c)(3) non-profit trust, provides tuition assistance and financial support. As the foundation grows, financial support will also be offered to those studying for the priesthood or other advanced religious studies. In addition, other non-profit organizations that promote Catholic education will benefit from the CFL Education Foundation.
