Faith In Action
Richard’s philanthropy reflects his deepest values. From building foundations that weave generosity into commerce, to stewarding Michelangelo’s sacred art, to strengthening marriages and supporting priests, every initiative expresses his conviction that faith must be lived, shared, and acted upon.
Help Worldwide Foundation
The Help Worldwide Foundation carries forward Richard’s vision that every transaction can contribute to positive change. Established as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, the foundation serves as a conduit for global giving. Through partnerships with HELP Worldwide, Inc. and Source technology, a portion of consumer activity is automatically routed to charitable causes.
This model ensures that generosity isn’t optional—it’s built into the system. Every purchase, every connection, every transaction becomes a seed of impact. The foundation has supported nonprofits around the world, from local community programs to international humanitarian relief.

Catholic Loyalty Foundation
The Catholic Loyalty Foundation exists to strengthen Catholic institutions through values-based financial resilience. By weaving loyalty rewards into everyday commerce, the foundation helps parishes, schools, and ministries establish sustainable funding streams that are not dependent on traditional donations alone.
Richard’s vision is that Catholic organizations not only survive but thrive—building prosperity, independence, and security while staying true to their faith. The foundation reflects his deep commitment to serving the Church and empowering its mission for generations to come.
WorldPriest (USA)
As President and Chairman of WorldPriest (USA), Richard advances initiatives to support priests and laity in renewing and strengthening the Catholic faith. This role reflects his conviction that faith is not only personal but communal, requiring leadership, resources, and encouragement at every level.
WorldPriest focuses on practical and spiritual support for clergy, while also inspiring greater participation from laypeople in faith-based renewal. Richard’s leadership ensures that the organization continues to bridge spiritual devotion with real-world action.
Michelangelo Legacy
The Michelangelo Legacy Project represents Richard’s role as steward of one of the world’s greatest artistic and spiritual treasures. Through Stewart Family Partners, his family acquired publishing rights, bronze casting rights, and Michelangelo Identification Numbers (MINs) for Vatican- and Casa Buonarroti-authorized works.
The mission: to donate and place 100 Pietàs worldwide, sharing Michelangelo’s sacred art with schools, churches, and communities. More than 40 installations have already touched lives globally, and the journey continues with Legacy Editions and the extraordinary prospect of the world’s only Golden Pietà.
This initiative bridges Richard’s entrepreneurial discipline with his faith and love for beauty, ensuring Michelangelo’s masterpieces remain accessible for generations.
Retrouvaille Marriage Ministry
Richard and his wife, Esther, are active supporters of Retrouvaille, a global ministry dedicated to helping marriages in crisis find healing and renewal. Rooted in faith, Retrouvaille provides couples with practical tools, guidance, and a community of support.
Their involvement reflects Richard’s belief that strong families are the cornerstone of strong communities. By helping couples rediscover hope and reconciliation, Retrouvaille affirms the sacred bond of marriage and empowers families to thrive.
