Angela Moloney, who has led the Catholic Foundation of Michigan since its inception, to join Gleaners Community Food Bank
DETROIT — Angela Moloney, president and CEO of the Catholic Foundation of Michigan, will be leaving the organization to become president and CEO of Gleaners Community Food Bank in southeast Michigan, beginning in January 2026.
Moloney has led the Catholic Foundation of Michigan since its founding in 2017, during which time the foundation has facilitated the distribution of $34 million in grants on behalf of local donors to nurture the Catholic Church’s spiritual, educational and social mission.
“I leave the Foundation humbled and grateful for what we have achieved through our community’s faith and generosity, ensuring that Catholic ministries across Michigan will thrive for generations,” Moloney said. “I am energized by the opportunity to lead Gleaners into its next chapter — to deepen partnerships, diversify revenue, and ensure that every neighbor in this region has nutritious food with dignity.”
Under Moloney’s leadership, the Catholic Foundation of Michigan has been a conduit for more than $88 million in charitable giving from generous donors, including $550,000 at its recent “Igniting Our Future Gala” on Oct. 16, and more than 300 charitable funds.
Chris Allen, chairman of the Catholic Foundation of Michigan’s board of directors, thanked Moloney for her service to the organization and wished her well in her new role with Gleaners.
“Angela’s new role is both wonderful news for Gleaners and for our community,” Allen said. “She leaves the Foundation in a strong and thriving position. Angela has our full support and confidence as she begins this next chapter. He new role will bless Southeast Michigan, as she leads Gleaners in the corporal works of mercy, especially in feeding the hungry.”
Catholic Foundation board member Frank Roney will lead the organization’s Search and Transition Committee to find a new president and CEO.
“The Catholic Foundation is poised for exponential growth guided by our mission to support a thriving Catholic community in Michigan, while helping our donors make a lasting and meaningful impact with their gifts,” Allen said.
