We are a diverse community from many backgrounds who share a common commitment to service. Our community relies on the generosity of supporters for the funds and materials needed for the hospitality we offer. We strive to be good stewards of the resources that come our way.
Because we are a community that opens our home to others, we do not seek nonprofit charitable status from the IRS. We accept no government money, and we are not financially supported by any foundation or denomination. Instead, individuals, groups and individual churches donate money, food, and other supplies.
Our property is held according to the Des Moines Catholic Worker Trust.
No one in the Des Moines Catholic Worker Community is paid a salary. We live in our CW Houses and receive room and board in exchange for living and working in the DMCW community. We offer our time and energy in the spirit of personal sacrifice, and we invite others to do the same.
