Our Analysis

The Catholic Charities Bureau had $11.5 million in revenue according to their latest report.


Of their $11.5 million in revenue, $4.6 million came in the form of contributions with $200 thousand raised through fundraising events. Government grants accounted for $3.9 million in revenue.


Catholic Charities are moderately efficient with their spending, with just over 86% of spending going to their mission. We like to see a charity spend at least 75% on their mission, so their number is acceptable. They also have fundraising expenses, though the cost is not a level to be concerned with.

Program Spending
Emergency Assistance 4,645,825
Refugee Resettlement 1,592,721
Food Bank 2,064,830
Other 1,243,197
TOTAL 9,549,573


Spending on mission
9,549,573 ÷ 11,089,998 = 86.1%

Spending on administrative costs
908,952 ÷ 11,089,998 = 8.2%

Spending on fundraising
631,473 ÷ 11,089,998 = 5.7%


Our Conclusion
The Catholic Charities is a well-respected organization that does a lot to help not just the religious community, but the community in general. We give them a RECOMMEND rating.
