Overview

Mission

Providing person-to-person service to those who are need. The Society, a Catholic lay organization, leads men and women to grow spiritually by providing person-to-person service to those who are needy or suffering in our local communities regardless of their race, ethnicity, religion or societal background.

What it reported doing in 2024

Program Services- Subordinate chapters, otherwise known as Districts & Conferences conduct assistance programs. This organization, the Council, supports those programs through governance and funding. Program services include but are not limited to the dissemination of financial assistance locally via outreach ministries for our neighbors in need (including children) for housing, utilities, heating fuel, medicine, food, work- or medical-related transportation, and other special help. Food and clothing are also directly distributed.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 96% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Grant intermediary. The nonprofit sent 100% of its reported program spending out as grants.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue.
