Our Story
Second Collection exists to help Catholics support the Church with clarity, trust, and purpose.
We believe parishes, schools, ministries, and families should not struggle to fund what matters most. They should have the tools to grow, to serve, and to build something lasting.
This platform was created to make that possible, connecting faithful Catholics with real needs in a way that is simple, transparent, and rooted in the mission of the Church.
We are building that Church, one campaign, one family, one parish at a time.
What We Do
Second Collection is a dedicated fundraising platform for Catholic causes.
We help:
- ✝Parishes fund projects and repairs
- ⚜Schools grow and improve
- ✝Ministries expand their mission
- ⚜Families receive support in times of need
Every campaign is reviewed before going live, and donations are processed securely through Stripe.
Our goal is simple: make giving easy, make needs visible, and build trust between donors and those they support.

Why It Matters
The Church does not grow by accident.
It grows through faithful people who are willing to give, to build, and to act.
Second Collection exists to remove friction from that process so Catholics can focus less on logistics and more on mission.
This is not just fundraising. It is participation in the life of the Church.
“Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.”
2 Corinthians 9:7
Our Faith Commitment
Second Collection is fully aligned with the teachings of the Catholic Church.
We adhere to the Nicene Creed and remain faithful to the Magisterium, the Pope and the bishops in communion with him.
All campaigns are expected to reflect the values and mission of the Church.
We believe in one God, the Father almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all things visible and invisible. We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the only Son of God, begotten from the Father before all ages, God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made; of the same essence as the Father. Through him all things were made. For us and for our salvation he came down from heaven; he became incarnate by the Holy Spirit and the virgin Mary, and was made human. He was crucified for us under Pontius Pilate; he suffered and was buried. The third day he rose again, according to the Scriptures. He ascended to heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again with glory to judge the living and the dead. His kingdom will never end. We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life. He proceeds from the Father and the Son, and with the Father and the Son is worshiped and glorified. He spoke through the prophets. We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic church. We affirm one baptism for the forgiveness of sins. We look forward to the resurrection of the dead, and to life in the world to come. Amen.
About the Founder
I’m Billy Yoder, founder of Second Collection.
I started Second Collection because I wanted to do something that genuinely serves the Church. Catholics are generous people, and Catholic organizations do important work, but the tools available to them have never been built with their mission in mind.
Second Collection exists to change that, by giving parishes, ministries, schools, and families a platform built specifically for them, one that is trustworthy, simple, and rooted in Catholic values.
Do Something Great for God.
Join Catholics across the country supporting parishes, ministries, and families in need.
