Catholic Charities, Archdiocese Of San Antonio, Inc., a tax-exempt nonprofit based in San Antonio, Texas, operates as a federal grant recipient (18% of recent awards) and overwhelmingly as a subrecipient (82%) on refugee resettlement, volunteer senior engagement, tax assistance, and community social services programs funded by civilian federal agencies.

Catholic Charities' federal footprint is heavily concentrated in two customer agencies accounting for 92% of awards. The Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families (ACF) anchors 135 recent awards, predominantly sub-awards for refugee resettlement, emergency assistance, and family support services. The Department of State Bureau of Population, Refugees and Migration follows with 97 awards, the vast majority sub-awards routed through the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) for refugee reception, placement, and resettlement services. The Corporation for National and Community Service's Office of Grants Management contributes 17 awards as prime grants, and the Department of the Treasury Internal Revenue Service has awarded 10 recent prime grants for volunteer income tax assistance (VITA) and tax counseling for the elderly (TCE) programs.

As a prime grant recipient, Catholic Charities has received recent funding for AmeriCorps Seniors Foster Grandparent Program implementation ($655,924, CFDA 94.011, effective July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2029), Volunteer Income Tax Assistance matching grants ($215,000, CFDA 21.009, October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2026), Tax Counseling for the Elderly cooperative agreements under the Internal Revenue Service, Citizenship Education and Training support ($300,000, CFDA 97.010, October 1, 2023 through September 30, 2025, in partnership with San Antonio Independent School District), and Shelter and Services Program funding from FEMA. The organization also holds prime grants for Retired and Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP) funding, with statutory match requirements of 10% to 30% and budgetary match ranging from 41% to 44%.

As a subrecipient, Catholic Charities receives the majority of its federal funding through USCCB, which passes through State Department and Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) funding for refugee resettlement and placement services, unaccompanied refugee minors programs, emergency cash and medical assistance (ERMA), and vulnerable populations support. Catholic Charities also receives sub-awards from Bexar County for mental health services targeting high-risk youth, trauma-informed behavioral health, and violence prevention programs; from Bexar County Hospital District for maternal health case management and doula services; and from the U.S. Committee for Refugees and Immigrants for refugee medical assistance and health promotion in Texas and Missouri.

Over the past five years, Catholic Charities has grown from 8 awards in 2022 to 157 in 2024, with activity moderating to 66 awards in 2025 and 3 to date in 2026. The organization reports $80.1 million in combined dollars obligated across all 294 awards in the source data. Four awards reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, presenting modest recompete exposure in that window. Catholic Charities' federal activity centers on social services for vulnerable populations—refugees, low-income families, seniors, and at-risk youth—delivered through a combination of AmeriCorps Seniors programming, volunteer tax assistance, resettlement case management, and trauma-informed behavioral health services, with work concentrated in the San Antonio region and subordinate refugee resettlement sites across Texas and other states where USCCB directs placement.
