Mission and programs · 2024

Mission

See Schedule OThe goal of the Foundation is to nurture and advance endeavors which contribute to the following core values: helping break the cycle of poverty; assisting people to help themselves; developing the Catholic faith; advancing spirituality; nurturing support and love for Catholic institutions; cultivating a passion for learning; fostering respect; encouraging cooperative/collaborative partnerships. See the website www.kenedy.org.

Activities or mission (Part I)

To support religious, educational, and charitable purposes in Texas.

  • The Foundation makes all of its charitable donations within the State of Texas. Ten percent of its total charitable grants are made to non-sectarian entities, institutions that are defined as non-religious and not church related. Ninety percent of its total charitable distributions are made to sectarian entities. It is the Foundation's practice that a Catholic sectarian organization should be listed in the Official Catholic Directory. Of these sectarian grants, about seventy percent are made in the South Texas area which includes the Diocese of Brownsville, the Diocese of Corpus Christi, and the Diocese of Laredo. Continued on Schedule O Education has been strongly favored in recent grant giving cycles including tuition assistance for Catholic schools and scholarships for Catholic and public universities. Service organizations and Catholic charities which target health, human services, the indigent, equal opportunity, and service to others are also favored. By continually evoking the Foundation's core values when making grant decisions, the Foundation is able to help countless numbers of people.

    Expenses $17,399,681 · Grants $16,891,609

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all. Showing the 10 most recent; the API carries the rest.

Auto-Revocation List

Not listed. The IRS publishes this list for organizations whose exemption was automatically revoked for failing to file for three consecutive years.

Publication 78

Listed as of 13 October 2026, under deductibility SOUNK.

These are two separate IRS files on two separate schedules, shown as published and not reconciled with each other. Neither is a statement about whether a contribution is deductible today: 19,245 organizations appear in Publication 78 while the IRS's own revocation file lists them as currently revoked, more than half of those revoked before 2019. Absence from Publication 78 is evidence of nothing, and presence is not evidence either. Verify current status with the IRS before relying on it.
