Case Study: Catholic Charities USA achieves centralized grant management and clearer impact visibility with AmpliFund

Catholic Charities USA Breaks Down Silos to See Its Impact by Implementing a Purpose-Built Grant Management System

Catholic Charities USA (CCUSA), the disaster response arm of the U.S. Catholic Church and intermediary to more than 160 member agencies, faced fragmented, paper-based grants management with each division using different processes and little cross‑organization visibility. Seeking a unified solution, CCUSA partnered with AmpliFund to implement a purpose-built grant management system and Applicant Portal to replace an unpopular legacy tool and address inconsistent recordkeeping, missed communications, and lack of a clear picture of program scope.

AmpliFund centralized CCUSA’s operations with customizable forms, an Applicant Portal, and custom workflows that standardized reviews, eliminated missed applications, and sped award turnaround—now managing more than $2 million in active awards within AmpliFund. The platform also enabled program-specific training, improved internal transparency and collaboration, and gave leadership a comprehensive view of grant impact, allowing CCUSA to plan proactively and track outcomes across the organization.
