Governance

Catholic Charities USA (CCUSA) is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization. Donations to CCUSA are tax-deductible to the fullest extent allowed by law. We strive to be faithful stewards of the investment and resources entrusted to us and seek to be transparent in the way we do business.

CCUSA is the national membership organization for independent Catholic Charities agencies throughout the United States and its territories. CCUSA does not provide direct services to the public.

Each Catholic Charities agency is a separate legal entity operated under the auspices of the bishop of the diocese in which the agency is located. Individual Catholic Charities agencies may, in their sole discretion, elect to become members of CCUSA. CCUSA has no control over the governance or operations of any member agency and CCUSA has no ownership interest in any member agency.
