Overview

Mission

Catholic Social Services, an agency of the Archdiocese of Mobile, is an organized expression of the Church's concern for social justice and well-being. As such, all activity is to mirror the loving care and concern of Christ for those in need. We evidence this first as professional providers of both direct and indirect services. At the same time we are called upon to act as effective advocates, leaders, prophets, and consciousness raisers.

What it reported doing in 2023

To provide assistance to individuals in the form of utility payments, food, transportation, medical assistance, household items, clothing and other personal items.

Operating model

Revenue model
Affiliate-supported. 73% of the money available for current operations came from contributions from related organizations.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
  • Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue and the available information about grant readiness federal audit leaves an important question unanswered.
