Easter Appeal 2026

As we walk through this sacred season of Lent, we are reminded of the power of sacrifice and the promise of renewal. Today, I invite you to be part of that renewal through the Central Washington Catholic Foundation’s Annual Easter Appeal.

Your generosity is the bridge that connects our youth to Christ. While many know us for our Tuition Assistance Program, your gift to the Easter Appeal does so much more. It fuels the digital tools in classrooms, provides college scholarships for future leaders, and ensures that even our most rural parishes have the resources they need for vibrant religious education.

Here in the Foundation office, we love hearing from those who have benefitted from our ministry. Ramon, a young parish student, clutched his first-ever Bible and shared, “I have never had my own Bible before. Now I can pray every night at home with my family!” A local grade-schooler shared the peace your support provides: “I feel safe and loved, and I get to pray every day with my friends. That is the best thing ever!” A college scholarship recipient found their path: “The opportunity to grow intellectually while remaining grounded in my beliefs is something I cherish deeply.” You are the reason these stories are possible!

We urge you to open your heart today. A gift to this appeal is a meaningful investment in a brighter, more faithful future for the youth of Central Washington.
