Arcadia, FL, August 29, 2004 -- A Catholic Relief Charities volunteer cooks burgers for residents affected by Hurricane Charlie
Catholic Charities is a network of charities whose aim is "to provide service to people in need, to advocate for justice in social structures, and to call the entire church and other people of good will to do the same." It is one of the largest charities in the United States. Catholic Charities traces its origin to an orphanage founded in 1727 in New Orleans, Louisiana by the French Ursuline Sisters. Together, with the local, diocesan-associated Catholic Charities, it is the second largest social service provider in the United States, surpassed only by the federal government. About $2 billion of its budget comes from the Faith-Based Initiatives Office of the federal government. Nearly 90 cents of every dollar donated to Catholic Charities agencies goes directly to programs and services. In 2008, Catholic Charities agencies served over 8 million individuals. Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of Chicago is the largest in a nationwide network of faith-based social service providers that form Catholic Charities. Together they form the largest private network of social service providers in the United States. More than 1,400 agencies, institutions, and organizations make up the Catholic Charities network, which provides services to nearly 10 million people in need each year regardless of religious, social, or economic backgrounds.

Photo of Andrew Carnegie, founder of the Carnegie Corporation of New York, with members of the faculty of the Tuskegee Institute.<br /> <br />“Andrew Carnegie envisioned Carnegie Corporation as a foundation that would “promote the advancement and diffusion of knowledge and understanding.” In keeping with this mandate, our work incorporates an affirmation of our historic role as an education foundation but also honors Andrew Carnegie's passion for international peace and the health of our democracy. While Mr. Carnegie’s primary aim was to benefit the people of the United States, he later determined to use a portion of the funds for members of the British overseas Commonwealth. Currently, this area of our grantmaking focuses on selected countries in sub-Saharan Africa.”

Potosi Brewery Restoration
<h4><a href="https://vmps.omeka.net/exhibits/show/performing-public-organization/performing-public-organization">Return to High Performing Public Organizations</a></h4>
The former Potosi Brewery operated for 120 years, from 1852 until 1972. When it closed, the buildings were left to deteriorate, creating an eyesore, a danger and a health hazard. As part of an economic development project, the building was restored, housing among other things the National Brewery Museum as well as an Interpretive Center for the Great River Road. The Potosi Brewery is the only non-profit brewery in the country with all profits benefiting other non-profit organizations.
