The Catholic Relief Services (CRS) is preparing for a massive cut after President Donald Trump significantly cuts federal funds for large-scale migration to the American community.
CRS is one of the largest recipients of US Organization for International Development (USAID) funding, but Trump's spending freezes will speed up charities Move To reduce the organization, employees were fired, according to Letours National Catholic Reporter.
Some layoffs have already been made, and insiders say the organization could be cut by 50% this year.
“By the end of this fiscal year, we expect the overall organization to be much smaller,” CRS president and CEO Sean Callahan told staff via email.
Callahan added that some of the planned programs have already been cancelled.
The organization was founded in 1943 by a gathering of American Catholic bishops. Today, it claims to serve 200 million people in 121 countries.
Stephen Colecchi, former director of the International Judicial and Peace Bureau for the American Congress of Catholic Bishops, said it was “accidentally and irresponsible” to blow up the cut and “target” the “small portion” of the federal dollar given by USAID. “It's a way.” To save money. “Even a thoughtful way to address programs that help the poorest and poorest people in the world, not a humanitarian way,” he added.

Hias executive Beth Oppenheim claimed that Moninghoff did not commit any crimes, adding that “there was no mismanagement of donor funds and HIAS is the head of responsible donor funding around the world.”
The organization's main job has recently focused on the increasing number of immigrants to the US, but not without controversy. Last year, it was accused of supplying maps to immigrants in South and Central America, demonstrating illegal aliens in Mexico how to reach the US border.
However, the Trump administration's freeze on new immigration has seriously constrained HIAS now because of what it was doing under the Biden administration.
HIAS received at least $500 million in US funds during the Biden administration for its immigration import efforts.
However, an internal investigation into its spending also found that the charity did not properly examine the external organisations handing over federal money. HIAS says that “corrective actions” are currently being taken and that it is being taken to ensure that affiliated organizations are compliant with federal regulations.
