Catholic Community Services is the official human service outreach arm of the Catholic Church in western Washington, committed to serving individuals, children, families and communities struggling with poverty and the effects of intolerance and racism, and to working for justice regardless of religious affiliation, race, or economic status.
Catholic Community Services of Western Washington backed Archdiocesan Housing Authority with two of the largest grants in its recent record: $1,288,673 in 2023 and $1,185,000 in 2024, both for program support. That pattern points to a funder that uses sizable, restricted grants to support housing-related service delivery in western Washington rather than one-off awards. The foundation’s public grant record also includes support for Catholic Charities of Spokane, Catholic Family & Childrens Services of Yakima, Washington Housing Equity Alliance, and St Vincent Depaul Society, showing a mix of housing, family, and community-service partners. Its stated mission centers on serving individuals, children, families, and communities struggling with poverty and the effects of intolerance and racism, regardless of religious affiliation, race, or economic status. The active grant programs listed for the organization focus on rapid rehousing and emergency relief, which aligns with the grant record’s emphasis on direct program support. With annual grants of $3,549,502 and total assets of $164,923,939, it operates at a scale large enough to sustain multiple service partners across Washington while keeping its giving tightly tied to program implementation and direct service work.
Housing is the clearest theme in the grant record. Catholic Community Services of Western Washington gave $106,250 to Washington Housing Equity Alliance in 2023 and another $44,199 in 2024, both for program support. The active Rapid Rehousing (RRH) Program / Family Housing Network financial assistance also reinforces that focus, with short-term financial assistance and case management for families transitioning into permanent housing. Family-centered services appear in the support for Catholic Family & Childrens Services of Yakima, which received $275,745 for program support in 2023. Community and emergency response show up in the Catholic Community Services Emergency Relief Fund, which covers groceries, transportation, emergency supplies, and damage or cleanup support for individuals and families affected by emergencies and natural disasters. The foundation also supported United Indians of All Tribes with $20,000 and Latino Civic Alliance with $15,000, both for program support.

Typical grant size is fairly wide: the 25th percentile is $44,199, the median is $106,250, and the 75th percentile is $537,838. The recent record shows repeat support for the same recipient across multiple years, including Archdiocesan Housing Authority in 2023 and 2024 and Washington Housing Equity Alliance in 2023 and 2024. The foundation makes program-related investments and its recent grants are consistently coded as program support, indicating restricted support for service delivery and program implementation rather than open-ended giving. It also funds individuals through program design, but the organizational profile says it does not fund individuals directly.
Grant recipients are concentrated entirely in Washington: 100% of the recent grants go to recipients in the foundation’s HQ state. Seattle appears repeatedly, including Archdiocesan Housing Authority, Washington Housing Equity Alliance, and St Vincent Depaul Society. Other Washington recipients include Spokane, Yakima, and Burien. The active program descriptions also reference Pierce County and western Washington more broadly, indicating a local service footprint within the state.
The grant record centers on housing and direct service work. Recent grants include support for Archdiocesan Housing Authority, Catholic Charities of Spokane, Catholic Family & Childrens Services of Yakima, and Washington Housing Equity Alliance, all marked program support. The active programs also focus on rapid rehousing and emergency relief.
Yes. Archdiocesan Housing Authority received $1,288,673 in 2023 and $1,185,000 in 2024. Washington Housing Equity Alliance also appears twice, with $106,250 in 2023 and $44,199 in 2024.
The distribution is broad. The 25th percentile is $44,199, the median is $106,250, and the 75th percentile is $537,838. That suggests the foundation usually gives mid-sized grants, with some much larger awards for housing-related program support.
The active Rapid Rehousing (RRH) Program / Family Housing Network financial assistance and the Catholic Community Services Emergency Relief Fund both accept unsolicited applications. Both are described as short-term assistance programs for eligible needs within Western Washington.
All recent grants shown are in the United States, and every listed recipient is in Washington. Seattle appears multiple times, alongside Spokane, Yakima, and Burien. The foundation’s top state by grant count is Washington, matching 100% of grants to the HQ state.
