Merkle RMG’s comprehensive and integrated service solution allows Catholic Charities USA to focus its efforts on serving the 48 million Americans facing poverty today.

Partnering with Merkle RMG will further these efforts by building and nurturing the donor relationships that will help make CCUSA’s goal of ending poverty in America a reality,” said Bill Sayre, president of Merkle RMG.
