They at least get $2 billion every year from the Office of Faith Based Initiatives.
I personally find a lot wrong with this.
While this is about Catholic Charities of Baltimore, their national office is Catholic Charities USA-
>Catholic Charities began with the establishment of the Catholic Church in America. John Carroll, the first Bishop of Baltimore, declared in 1792 that one-third of all parish revenues should go to “the relief of the poor.”

No, entirely true. Catholic Charities USA is a federation of various US-based Catholic charitable organizations (and is itself a member of a similar global organization, Caritas Internationalis), but it is not the same thing as the Catholic Church, nor even the same thing as the charitable activity of the Catholic Church, nor even the same thing as the charitable activity of the Catholic Church in the USA.

No "Catholic Charities of Baltimore" does not have a national office, they are non-profit organization founded by the Archdiocese of Baltimore. They are a member organization Catholic Charities USA (a much newer organization), but CCUSA doesn't run or direct its member organizations.
