The CDF helps you and the community.
In the past two years alone, the Catholic Development Fund has provided over $2.85m in interest to our investors. On top of that, all of our profits go towards building schools, restoring churches, operating social and family support services. In addition, parishes received a distribution from the fund based on the investments lodged by their parishioners, directly supporting their parish community.
When you open a Term Investment with the CDF, you will receive your interest on maturity plus the CDF will also donate 2.5% interest to the Parish of your choice within the Catholic Diocese of Bathurst
