The Board of Directors has renamed the Operations Endowment of the Foundation to the “Mary Quilici Aumack Endowment for FOREVER VALUE” in honor of Mary’s vision for and years of dedicated service to the organization as she leaves her role as CEO later this year.
Mary Quilici Aumack dedicated 17 years of services to the Catholic Community Foundation, first as a Board Member and then as CEO for 15 years. Mary shepherded the Foundation through many milestones during her tenure, including the expansion to a community foundation model, the charitable response to the 2020 pandemic, and reaching the historic $10 million granting goal in 2024. Her faith-filled and far-sighted leadership laid a solid foundation for the organization based on sustainability, donor- and beneficiary-centered service, and compassion. Mary was also a founding member of the Consortium of Catholic Foundations, a nation-wide network of Catholic Foundations which shares information, best practices and support.
The Foundation expanded to become a Community Foundation in 2013 in order to better serve the needs of our donors, local ministries and neighbors. As part of this process, Mary coined the term FOREVER VALUE. The idea behind the phrase is that the permanent nature of the Foundation’s work creates benefits that will extend beyond our lifetime and will impact the community for generations to come.
This fund supports the operations of the Catholic Community Foundation so that we can fulfill our mission today and FOREVER.
