Catholic Relief Services

Catholic Relief Services (CRS), founded in 1943 by the US Catholic Bishops,  assists the poor and disadvantaged outside this country. The fundamental motivating force in all activities of CRS is the Gospel of Jesus Christ as it pertains to the alleviation of human suffering, the development of people and the fostering of charity and justice in the world.

The policies and programs of CRS reflect and express the teachings of the Catholic Church. At the same time, CRS assists persons in over 80 countries around the world on the basis of need, not creed, race or nationality. In addition, CRS maintains strict standards of efficiency and accountability with over 90% of all support going directly to programs overseas to help the poor.
