What Caritasverband für die Diözese Regensburg e.V. does

Caritasverband für die Diözese Regensburg e.V. is the Catholic diocesan charitable association for the Diocese of Regensburg in Bavaria, Germany. Organized as a registered association (eingetragener Verein) under the national umbrella of Deutscher Caritasverband e.V. (Caritas Deutschland), it delivers a broad portfolio of social services spanning healthcare, elderly care, homelessness assistance, addiction counseling, migration support, family services, and disability services. Operational footprint includes three Catholic hospitals (Krankenhaus St. Josef in Regensburg, Krankenhaus St. Maria in Donaustauf, and Krankenhaus St. Lukas in Kelheim), approximately 25 nursing homes, the Fachklinik Haselbach addiction clinic, a 12-location addiction-counseling network across East Bavaria, the NOAH homeless assistance program with mobile outreach, 24/7 emergency shelters, and aftercare facilities (including the women's Marienheim complex), and the Caritas Kita gGmbH childcare subsidiary. Workforce scale is anchored by approximately 2,000 nursing professionals across hospitals, residential care, day care, and ambulatory services; the firmographic employee figure of 17 is internally inconsistent with the documented operational footprint.

Revenue is not publicly disclosed and is sourced from four streams per the input: state and federal government contracts for regulated social services, diocesan allocations from Catholic church tax (Kirchensteuer), donations and fundraising (including seasonal collection campaigns), and regulated co-payments or social-services fees. Services are delivered free of charge to beneficiaries at the point of use, with a multi-channel distribution model that combines physical facilities (counseling centers, shelters, hospitals, nursing homes, parish-based Gemeindecaritas), mobile outreach (NOAH-Mobil electric van), street work, and digital channels including the caritas.de Online-Beratung portal across 18+ topic areas. Capital structure is anchored by the Caritas-Stiftung für die Diözese Regensburg, established in 2009 as a Dachstiftung to administer endowed and non-incorporated sub-foundations, with overhead absorbed by the association. Governance is led by Diözesan-Caritasdirektor Michael Weißmann (in role approximately 40 years) under the chairmanship of Domkapitular Michael Dreßel, with supervisory structures including the Caritasrat and Vertreterversammlung and overarching spiritual oversight from the Diocese of Regensburg.
