According to a blurb in the Catholic Culture publication in 2011 The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops’ Migration and Refugee Services (USCCB) received 92.5% of its budget from federal grants and contracts.

The USCCB also demands religious control of these public programs that the federal government pays them to implement. For example they want to have the right to deny the legal right to abortion from woman who have been sex-trafficked and who have been impregnated by a rapist.
