Impacting the U.S. Church
While Catholics make up about 20-25% of the U.S. population, the Church’s numbers are declining. As immigration patterns, evolving demographics, and secular culture influence the Church’s numbers and diversity, Church-related programs are in need of support to welcome, educate, and engage these groups. OSV Institute for Catholic Innovation serves a number of religious activities by inspiring, encouraging, and investing in innovative ideas in ministry and evangelization.
Inspiring Catholic Innovation
Innovation requires a source for inspiration. OSV Institute serves that purpose for the Church, working as a platform for inspirational and impactful ideas.
Encouraging Catholic Innovation
To continue to grow the Church, we need everyone on board. OSV Institute encourages innovation by creating an ecosystem for Catholic innovation to forge new paths and give people a means for new ideas and new solutions for the Church.
OSV Challenge
From 2019 through 2022, the OSV Challenge was a catalyst for growth and innovation for Catholic entrepreneurs and creators. The Challenge provided project incubation and acceleration for applicants and finalists, and refined their ideas while building them as creators, thinkers, and Catholics.
Investing in Catholic Innovation
Since 1915, Archbishop Noll started charitable giving in service to the Church. Since then, more than $90 million dollars has been infused into the Church, families, parishes and communities across the country. OSV Institute is proud to imitate the work of Archbishop Noll and support these worthy organizations who demonstrate transformational impact.
Real + True Catechism Project
Real + True is a global project supported by OSV Institute providing beautiful, captivating, and relevant content inspired by the timeless truths of the Catechism of the Catholic Church.
USCCB National Eucharistic Revival
OSV holds a commitment to a four-year, $1 million dollar grant to support the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops’ new Eucharistic Revival initiative. The Eucharistic Revival began with a nationwide launch to renew the Church in America by enkindling a living relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ in the Holy Eucharist.
Catholic Relief Services
OSV Institute made a $100,000 contribution to Catholic Relief Services’ efforts to Emergency Response in Ukraine amidst the feud between Russia and Ukraine. With support from CRS and other Caritas members, Caritas Ukraine and Caritas Spes have assisted 646,039 people since the start of the conflict.
