Overview

Mission

Catholics for Catholics is fighting to bring the Catholic faith back into the public square through rosary rallies, media, political action and more!

What it reported doing in 2024

Educational resources: We understand that in order to transform the culture and have an orderly social and civic impact, it is necessary not only to inform people, but also to educate them in the correct doctrine of the Catholic Church. For this reason, a large part of our efforts were focused on developing educational materials for the community. We produced and distributed nearly half a million copies (English and Spanish) of the most popular Catholic Voter Guide among the faithful throughout the country. We also produced massive online content (hundreds of videos and news articles), forming and informing the Catholic community on matters of politics, culture and faith. Plus, we published a one-of-a-kind Catholic Patriotic calendar to promote faith and patriotism, and Charity for Sale, a powerful book that educates on the finances and challenges of the American Catholic Church.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 70% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
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.

The verdict

STRONG - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of total spending goes to programs. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
