Activities or mission (Part I)

Catholic Charities of the Diocese of Fort Wayne - South Bend, Inc. serves all those in need as Christ calls us to do

  • MIGRATION SERVICES Resettlement and Placement - Provides services for newly arrived refugees up to 90 days after arrival. This program provides assistance to people coming to the United States under refugee status as granted by the U.S. Department of State, as well as assistance to individuals who seek asylum once they are already in this country. Catholic Charities works in cooperation with the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops to provide these services, which help new residents adjust to life in the community. Services include pre-arrival processing, arrival services, assistance with housing, referrals for medical care, acculturation, referrals for ESL (English-as-a-second language) classes, school enrollment for the children, and other educational services as needed. Refugee Support Services - Provides extended case management and resources after the initial 90 days. Immigration - The Board of Immigration Appeals (U.S. Department of Homeland Security) recognizes Catholic Charities' Immigration Services as a program that provides accurate and affordable services to immigrants who seek to adjust their status, reunite with family members, obtain employment authorization, or file paperwork to make other status adjustments through U.S.C.I.S (U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, formerly the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service, or INS). Citizenship classes and assistance with the process of naturalization are also provided.

    Expenses $3,646,557 · Grants $1,195,611 · Revenue $184,028

  • STABILITY SERVICES Resource & Referral - Services are provided to individuals and families who need help meeting basic needs: food, clothing, shelter, and utilities. Applicants qualified for the program will complete a brief assessment with a case manager in-person or virtually. Referrals are made to other agencies when appropriate. Hispanic Health Advocate - Our Hispanic Health Advocate program serves those who need Spanish-translation services in vital areas such as healthcare so they can get the vital services they need. Homeless Case Management - Case management services to homeless individuals to provide needed resources to break down the barriers of becoming self-sufficient. The case manager assists with linking needed individuals with resources for basic needs such as shelter, clothing, food, hygiene, insurance, healthcare, etc. The case manager may be able to conduct coordinated entry assessment if the client qualifies. Senior Community Service Employment Program (SCSEP) - SCSEP is the nation's longest-running program to help low-income individuals, aged 55 and over, to find employment. Our SCSEP case managers help seniors by creating an Individual Employment Plan so they could achieve their goals. They also place seniors in job training opportunities and other resources (housing, food, other assistance, etc.). SCSEP provides job coaching and job search assistance. Food Pantries - As our communities continue to face rising unemployment, food is flying off the shelves at both South Bend Food Pantry and RSVP Community Center of Caring Food Pantry in Auburn.Because of this great need, we typically serve over 5,000 people annually. Youth Mentoring - The Mentoring Program pairs youth between the ages of 9 and 17 who live in DeKalb, Noble and Steuben counties with a background screened and trained adult Mentor. The matches develop nurturing relationships by meeting virtually or in-person a minimum of 3-8 hours a month for no less than one year. Individual and group activities such as bowling, college visits, field trips to farms, trips to sports events and more make this powerful program a fun experience for everyone. Retired Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP) - Senior Corps volunteer programs connect people 55 years and older to organizations that need them most. Catholic Charities helps them become mentors, coaches, and companions to people in need. They also contribute their job skills and expertise to community projects and organizations.

    Expenses $2,367,948 · Grants $515,321

  • COUNSELING SERVICES Mental Health & Addiction Counseling - Programming that promotes emotional well-being and self-sufficiency. Victims Of Human Trafficking - Programming that helps freed victims deal with the trauma of their captivity and adjustment back into the community.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all. Showing the 10 most recent; the API carries the rest.

Grants made

No itemized grants to organizations. Schedule I is filed only by organizations that granted more than $5,000 to a recipient, so most filers have none.

Grants received

The 10 largest by cash amount. The API serves every itemized grant.

Related organizations

From Schedule R Part II, where a filer lists the tax-exempt organizations it is related to by control. It does not record shared board members or money.

Other IRS files

Auto-Revocation List

Not listed. The IRS publishes this list for organizations whose exemption was automatically revoked for failing to file for three consecutive years.

Publication 78

Not present in the most recent drop.

These are two separate IRS files on two separate schedules, shown as published and not reconciled with each other. Neither is a statement about whether a contribution is deductible today: 19,245 organizations appear in Publication 78 while the IRS's own revocation file lists them as currently revoked, more than half of those revoked before 2019. Absence from Publication 78 is evidence of nothing, and presence is not evidence either. Verify current status with the IRS before relying on it.
