Mission
The society of st. Vincent de paul offers tangible assistance to those in need on a person-to-person basis. It is this personalized involvement that makes the work of the society unique. This aid may take the form of intervention, consultation, or often through direct dollar or in-kind service. An essential precept of the society's work is to provide help while conscientiously maintaining the confidentiality and dignity of those who are served. The society recognizes that it must assume, also, a role of advocacy for those who are defenseless or voiceless. Some 12 million persons are helped annually by vincentians in the united states.

Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2020 to 2021, from $146k to $232k (+59%).

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
99% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is. Concentration is still measured over all of it, because the money is real; what it does not support is a claim about how many institutions have chosen to fund SOCIETY OF SAINT VINCENT DE PAUL ST CATHERINE OF ALEXANDRIA CONFERENCE.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2022 100% · 2023 100% — broadly stable.

Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
Where its funders are
99% of SOCIETY OF SAINT VINCENT DE PAUL ST CATHERINE OF ALEXANDRIA CONFERENCE's grant income arrives through donor-advised or pass-through sponsors, whose addresses record where the money is held rather than where the donor is. Of the $250 that is directly attributable, 100% of it comes from Massachusetts funders.
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $20k arriving through sponsors registered in 1 state is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
