The Cathedral-Carmel Foundation is a non-profit corporation, established in the Spring of 1969, whose purpose is to support the moral, social, educational, and material welfare of the Cathedral-Carmel School in Lafayette, Louisiana. 

Thirty-six years later, the Cathedral-Carmel Foundation has continued to establish and distribute funds for school improvements thru capital campaigns and the annual membership drive and golf tournament as well as provide networking opportunities around the school among stakeholders, alumni, faculty and parents. In practice, the school's administration, i.e. the pastor and principal, provide guidance as to school priorities and make such requests to the board of directors for consideration.

Members of the Cathedral-Carmel Foundation are those individuals who contribute to one or more of the donor societies established by the foundation.  The Board of Directors are elected by the members of the foundation.
 
Foundation Emertius Members are those members who have dedicated service and time to the foundation for the betterment of the school.
