Strategy
Start Your Giving
You Don’t Just Give — You Invest.
Your generosity has the power to save lives, strengthen families, and renew the culture.
We help ensure it does — with clarity, strategy, and faith.
At the St. Joseph the Protector Foundation, we make giving simple, transparent, and deeply impactful.
Whether you want to focus your philanthropy, expand your reach, or steward a family foundation, our process is designed to guide your generosity like an investment — producing measurable impact, not just good intentions.
How It Works :
1. Listen
We begin with a conversation — not a transaction.
You share your values, priorities, and the legacy you hope to build.
Our team identifies the most effective ministries on the front lines of life — including pregnancy centers, maternity homes, adoption services, and innovative pro-life initiatives. We vet each for leadership integrity, financial transparency, and measurable results, ensuring your generosity is deployed wisely.
2. Research
3. Invest
We strategically direct grants where the problem is greatest and the leadership most capable. Each investment is intentional — designed to multiply your impact and strengthen the movement for life.
4. Report
You receive clear, measurable updates so you can see exactly what your generosity is accomplishing. Every outcome is tracked, every partner is accountable, and every story is shared with gratitude.
Why It Works
Our process combines the discernment of faith with the discipline of high-level strategy.
And because our operations are underwritten by generous benefactors, we offer this service completely free of charge or management fees.
That means 100% of your gift goes toward protecting life — not administration.
Not a Donor-Advised Fund, But A Mission-Driven Foundation
Unlike a donor-advised fund, the Saint Joseph the Protector Foundation is not a passive giving vehicle - it’s an active, mission-driven grantmaking foundation. While we provide donors the opportunity to direct their giving toward organizations they care about, every grant we make is limited to a pre-vetted and pre-approved list of pro-life partners that meet our rigorous standards for effectiveness, transparency, and fidelity to mission. Typical donor-advised funds offer donors a menu of compliant organizations without distinguishing which are most impactful. By contrast, SJPF performs extensive due diligence - evaluating financial health, leadership integrity, long-term viability, and measurable outcomes - to ensure every dollar entrusted to us is deployed for maximum life-saving impact. In short, we go far beyond facilitating gifts: we discern, verify, and invest in the most effective defenders of life so donors can give with confidence, knowing their generosity is bearing the greatest possible fruit.
Let’s Begin
We’ll help you discern the best path forward for your giving — and handle the details with care and transparency every step of the way.
Together, we can make your generosity a force for measurable, eternal impact.
Bishop Kevin Rhoades, Secretary of the USCCB
“ I am happy to endorse the St. Joseph the Protector Foundation (SJPF), an organization whose mission to uphold the sacred gift of human life resonates deeply with the Gospel of life. Inspired by St. Joseph himself, the steadfast protector of the Holy Family and "savior of the Savior," SJPF embodies a profound commitment to safeguarding and nurturing life through its unique and exemplary work. With a priority on regions where the sanctity of human life faces relentless opposition, this vital support equips organizations to bring hope and practical assistance to those in greatest need. The unity of pro-life pregnancy help ministries are of paramount importance, and SJPF stands as a model of hope for this unity. “
