CCUSA Donated $4 Million in Grants for Disaster Relief in 2016


A financial services firm based in New York, Doonan Tax Services operates in the tri-state area as well as in Texas, Florida, and California. Committed to corporate social responsibility, Doonan Tax Services donates to Catholic Charities USA (CCUSA). 

CCUSA is the official domestic relief agency of the Catholic Church in the United States. The organization provides much-needed financial support to Catholic charities in localities across the country that have been affected by natural disasters. The emergency financial support is used to help survivors in the most vulnerable situations rebuild their lives. This includes survivors with greater need than the government can alleviate as well as those to whom the government has no available programs, such as people living in RVs who are unable to establish a permanent residence. All are served regardless of their faith. 

In line with its mission, between December 2015 and December 2016, CCUSA disbursed over $4 million in disaster relief grants to 19 local Catholic charities around the country. These funds went to finance the rebuilding work of agencies in regions most affected by severe weather events such as flooding and hurricanes. Some of the areas that benefited from the grants were Beaumont, Texas; Baton Rouge and New Orleans, Louisiana; Charleston, South Carolina; Raleigh, North Carolina; Fort Wayne, Indiana; and St. Petersburg and St. Augustine, Florida.
