Philanthropy as ministry. That is the powerful force driving the National Catholic Community Foundation (NCCF), an Annapolis-based organization that offers Catholic and non-Catholic families the opportunity to engage in philanthropic efforts that can be passed from generation to generation.
"As Catholics increased in affluence and sophistication, they recognized that they didn’t want to give their money to the government (upon their deaths)," said Dana P. Robinson, the chairman of NCCF’s board of directors who works as senior vice president of PNC Bank in Philadelphia and a 30-year veteran of the financial services industry.
