On average, Catholic Charities agenciesof the Archdiocese of New York spend 88 cents of each dollar on program expenses.While many services are provided through government partnerships, substantialprivate philanthropy is necessary to sustain the range and quality of services offeredby Catholic Charities agencies.The size of the individual segments of the chart represents a weighted average of thenumber of people served and the expenditures that hopefully reflects moreaccurately the proportion of services provided in each category. Some services,primarily residential, are very intensive, requiring higher expenditures to serve asmaller number of individuals with special needs. Other categories, such asinformation and referral and emergency meals, serve many more people at a muchlower cost per person.Because of Catholic Charities’ comprehensive approach to assistance, someindividuals and families receive multiple services over a period of time. Some areserved by more than one Catholic Charities agency. It is difficult to know the preciseunduplicated number of those served. Our analysis indicates that Catholic Charitiesserved more than 360,000 different individuals in 2012, approximately the samenumber served in the previous year.Annual Report 2012www.CatholicCharitiesAnnual.org
