Catholic Answers, Inc.

We strive to be faithful servants to God and his Church. To accomplish this, our focus is to:

- Continue to seek improvements and efficiencies in our existing operations
- Develop new campaigns to address important topical issues as they arise
- Help good Catholics become better Catholics
- Help bring non-practicing Catholics "home"
- Help lead non-Catholics into the fullness of the truth through the Catholic faith
- Continue as good stewards to the financial resources entrusted to us by our supporters.

First, we teach those inside the Church to understand their Faith more completely, equipping them to evangelize others and defend the Catholic faith on their own.

Second, we provide access to in-house lay Church experts ("apologists") as resources to answer questions and give presentations that explain Church teachings, both virtually and in-person. We also facilitate access to Church experts, lay and religious, who are outside our organization.

Third, we attempt to place ourselves in positions in the public square that allow us to directly evangelize people outside the Church, allowing "seekers" to enter into discussion with us as they look for truth in today's world. This takes place through a variety of media, particularly our top-rated Q&A radio show Catholic Answers Live and our website, Catholic.com.

Catholic Answers revenue comes from product sales, magazine subscriptions, events and special projects, speaker honoraria, and donations to the apostolate.

Below is an approximate breakdown of revenue by source in FY 2020-21:

Product sales: 1.4 million
Magazine subscriptions: .44 million
Speaker Honoraria .16 million
Radio Fundraising: .92 million
Website Fundraising: .21 million
General Fundraising: 4.2 million
Events and special projects: .23 million

Our speakers' bureau sends some of the top speakers in Catholic evangelization and apologetics all over the world to schools, parishes, and large conferences attended by tens of thousands.

In the coming years, Catholic Answers intends to maintain and expand all of the programs and projects described above. A few of our immediate projects for expansion concern online programming, as detailed below.

CATHOLIC ANSWERS PODCAST NETWORK
Catholic Answers has developed and begun to implement a plan to affiliate with and support a select group of budding Catholic apologists that can benefit from an association with the Catholic Answers brand. As part of this effort, which includes three such affiliations as of February 2022, the benefit to Catholic Answers is the creation of a "farm team" of future full-time CA apologists, expansion of the reach of the Catholic Answers brand, and an increase in distribution of our multi-media apologetics and evangelization content.

CATHOLIC ANSWERS PODCAST/WEBINAR STUDIO
In support of the above podcast network initiative, and response the increase in demand for Catholic Answers webinars and other virtual interactions, we are in the design stage of a new studio that will stand alongside our state-of-the-art radio studio. Fundraising is in progress now to build out the studio structure in the existing CA headquarters and purchase the necessary equipment to make it a reality.

OUR NEW & IMPROVED MOBILE APP
To remain in the forefront of Catholic media, Catholic Answers developed an updated Catholic Answers Live mobile app for the Android and iOS platforms in 2021. This allows people to stream our programming, which also includes the Catholic Answers Focus and Counsel of Trent podcasts, in a fresh, updated online environment that competes with the best of the secular streaming services with which many of our listeners are familiar. The app will continue to be updated as necessary with the consultation of the original design team and internal stakeholders.
