Are you prepping for your taxes or looking for somewhere to donate your money? We’ve compiled a great list of Catholic Charities you can donate and tithe to with a good conscience!!

Ok… some of them aren’t exactly “Catholic,” but they’re Catholic-approved because, as Catholics, we need to make sure charities we donate to will use the funds for good.  It is important to avoid charities that partner with or promote a pro-abortion agenda.
