BOSTON (MA)
Boston Catholic Insider
BCI hopes that all in Boston are digging out well from the blizzard and have power and heat.
With the news Friday that the Catholic Appeal raised $14.2M in the most recent fundraising year–slightly above the $14M goal, and beating the goal for the first time in 3 years–BCI thought it would be appropriate for everyone to see exactly how the Boston Archdiocese is spending donor funds. In addition, it is interesting to see how all of the overpaid folks in the Pastoral Center with excessive six-figure salaries do in keeping to their budget plan.
There are four things that jumped out at BCI immediately from looking at the numbers.
1) Almost 50% of the $35M in Central Operations expenses in the most recent fiscal year were for Administrative costs (“Management and General”)–in other words, other than paying for programs that directly build the Kingdom of God. Look at page 24 in the 2012 Annual Report.
