Reversing deficit, USCCB improves its financial position in 2021 (USCCB)

The US Conference of Catholic Bishops has posted its audited financial statements for 2020 and 2021.

At the end of 2020, the USCCB had $365.2M in assets and $110.2M in liabilities. At the end of 2021, assets rose to $408.9M, and liabilities fell to $102.7M.

In 2020, the USCCB had $150M in operating revenue (including $47.8M in government contracts and grants) and $173.1M in operating expenses. In 2021, the USCCB reversed this operating deficit, with $203.1M in operating revenue (including $67.5M in government contracts and grants) and $171.6M in operating expenses.

The government grants and contracts were for Migration and Refugee Services; these grants increased significantly in 2021 because of a new line item for Afghan refugee evacuation and resettlement.
