The CDF exists to provide funding and loans for activities that strengthen the Catholic Diocese of Christchurch. CDF members choose from a range of investment and savings products to suit their saving and lifestyle needs. All accounts are 100% guaranteed and provide a return to both CDF members and the Bishop of Christchurch. Borrowing needs are also available to Catholic schools, parishes, and organisations to carry out projects. The CDF offers a socially responsible investment option with an investment policy aligned to Catholic values. It remains a practical way to save while investing in the good of the diocese – particularly for our youth, those in education and in need of care and support. CDF Invest in Good
