Why does Catholic Charities do additional fundraising?
A full 10% of the Diocesan budget, which this year is $1,100,000, is given to Catholic Charities to help support its very worthwhile presence in our Diocese. However, this amount is only a percentage of the money needed to carry out its mission. In addition to what is given through the CFA, Catholic Charities must also do aggressive fundraising to meet its budget.
