Leadership giving is important because it sets the tone for generosity and inspires others to give. When individuals or families step forward with significant gifts, they demonstrate a deep commitment to the mission and values of the Church. This kind of giving doesn’t just fund ministries—it builds momentum. It shows that the cause is worthy of sacrifice, and it encourages others to stretch their own giving in response.

Leadership gifts also provide stability and vision. They often make it possible to launch new programs, expand outreach, or respond to urgent needs without delay. In a campaign like the Annual Catholic Appeal, leadership donors help pave the way for the broader community to follow—ensuring that the Church can continue serving, teaching, healing, and proclaiming the Gospel with strength and confidence.
