Since 2012, our mission has been to promote a legacy of giving and support within the Diocese of Des Moines.

On June 30th, 2020, the Catholic Foundation of Southwest Iowa (CFSWIA) awarded 10 grants to Catholic parishes, schools, and organizations with a grant.

Kersti Rutledge will touch the lives of Des Moines Diocesan priests and seminarians for years to come, even though she isn’t here to see that difference!

All of us at the Catholic Foundation of Southwest Iowa wish you and
yours good health and much happiness.

If you are a farmer, a gift of grain or other crops, instead of a cash contribution, can be a very tax-efficient way for you to support a Catholic entity within the Des Moines Diocese.
