Here is a list of our 2012 supporters: Thank You Corporate Donors
Catholic Charities of Buffalo
We help people in need regardless of someone’s religious, ethnic or cultural backgrounds. And when you help Catholic Charities, you strengthen our community, socially and economically.
We offer hope and a fresh start to families in crisis and teens who need job skills and a GED, share resources and parenting skills with kinship caregivers, and often provide a place to turn when other doors close. We provide hope for WNY when we protect, strengthen and empower the lives of the people we serve.
We are innovative and collaborative; we develop and encourage partnerships with other organizations for the benefit of our community.
Improving Lives
We know that businesses benefit when people have job training, education, nutrition and the support they need to succeed and become contributing community members. That’s part of the everyday, emergency and comprehensive assistance we provide, and continue with your help.
Results
Like you, we understand that being large and comprehensive (we have 70 programs and 60 sites) is not enough, our success is measured by program results and our efficiency.
• In 2012, we assisted more than 130,000 children, families, teens, adults and seniors.
• We trained 225 unemployed individuals, and 60 were hired locally.
• We leverage about $3 in additional funding for every dollar raised.
• Fund-raising costs are kept low, at just 3.3 percent.

“No matter what the size of the business, no matter what the size of the gift, it means so much to Catholic Charities.”
