The organization has consistently received federal grant sub-awards from Catholic Relief Services - United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, primarily under USAID's Foreign Assistance for Programs Overseas (CFDA 98.001) grant program. These grants have focused on comprehensive disaster risk reduction and community resilience initiatives in multiple Salvadoran departments including Morazan, Sonsonate, and Ahuachapan.

Their most recent federal grant award, a $295,634 project grant effective October 1, 2024, continues their mission of building community resilience by engaging local communities in disaster risk reduction processes, providing affected households with critical skills and assets, and supporting national civil protection system improvements.
