Catholic Charities Of The Diocese Of Baton Rouge, Inc.

Catholic Charities Of The Diocese Of Baton Rouge, Inc., a tax-exempt nonprofit headquartered in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, operates as a federal grant recipient (32% of recent awards as prime) and as a subrecipient on larger refugee resettlement and humanitarian-assistance programs (68% of awards), delivering intergenerational volunteer services, refugee cash assistance, medical screening, case management for trafficking survivors, and legal orientation support to vulnerable populations across Louisiana.

Catholic Charities' federal customer base concentrates heavily on two agencies: the Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families (42 awards) and the Department of State Bureau of Population Refugees and Migration (37 awards), which together account for 97% of recent awards. The Corporation for National and Community Service Office of Grants Management represents the third customer (6 awards), with the Department of Justice Executive Office for Immigration Review carrying minor volume (1 award). The concentration reflects Catholic Charities' positioning in federal refugee resettlement infrastructure and child welfare programming — neither the customer-count breakdown nor the available dollar figures separate potential value by agency.

As a prime grant recipient, Catholic Charities holds four active awards with combined obligated value of $2.4 million: a $359,606 AmeriCorps Seniors Foster Grandparent Program (CFDA 94.011) three-year project grant from the Corporation for National and Community Service effective July 2026 through June 2029, deploying foster grandparent volunteers to provide tutoring and mentoring to disadvantaged youth; a $2,035,222 Refugee and Entrant Assistance Block Grant (CFDA 93.566) from the Office of Refugee Resettlement for October 2025 through September 2027 funding cash and medical assistance to newly arrived refugees, asylees, and trafficking victims; and two ORR formula grants for refugee support services running through September 2027. An earlier ORR cash-and-medical-assistance block grant completed in September 2025, and an AmeriCorps grant ended in June 2026.

Catholic Charities operates predominantly as a subrecipient under two prime grantees that dominate its federal footprint: the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (multiple sub-award streams including Reception and Placement, Preferred Communities Program, and related ORR programming, with monthly payment records running through 2025) and the Lutheran Immigration and Refugee Service Inc. (ORR refugee support and safe release services sub-awards). The organization also subcontracts legal orientation support under a contract with Acacia Center for Justice for the Executive Office for Immigration Review's Legal Orientation Program, and received sub-awards from the U.S. Committee for Refugees and Immigrants for trafficking-victim case management under the Office on Trafficking In Persons' nationwide Trafficking Victim Assistance Program network (through September 2022). A single Service Contract Inventory record from FY2024 captured 5.4 federal service-contract FTEs delivered as a named subcontractor, reflecting minimal SCI-reported activity.

The award portfolio shows spike activity in 2024 (43 awards) following lower volume in 2022–2023 (5–7 awards annually), with 2025 volume at 16 awards. Four awards face completion within the next twenty-four months and represent potential recompete or renewal opportunity.
