State · CATHOLIC RELIEF SERVICES - UNITED STATES CONFERENCE OF CATHOLIC BISHOPS — $60.0M (CUB)
Key claim: Department of State obligated $60.0M to Catholic Relief Services (CRS-USCCB) for CRS/Caritas Cuba crisis-response humanitarian work in Cuba.
Abstract
Department of State obligated $60.0M to CATHOLIC RELIEF SERVICES - UNITED STATES CONFERENCE OF CATHOLIC BISHOPS, for work in CUB. CRS/CARITAS CUBA CRISIS-RESPONSE
Why this matters
A $60.0M State Department obligation to CRS-USCCB for Caritas Cuba represents a sizable US humanitarian channel into Cuba — a country subject to longstanding US sanctions where official aid flows are politically constrained and typically routed through faith-based intermediaries. Tracking the amount, purpose, and recipient clarifies how US crisis-response funding reaches Cuban civil society without direct government-to-government transfers.
