They also have the diocese that funds them,

Don't count on it.

and probably have investment income.

And what ... you have a problem with investments? Communist much? Investments must be managed, in any case.

Both of which distract from the truth, that for the vast majority of non-profits (including religious orders), fundraising is an active pursuit.

You're barking up the wrong tree. There's lots wrong with this wretched woman, but this isn't part of it.

Where did I say I have a problem w/ investments? The church and all of its branches have investments. They also get money from parishinors..through special collections. They have nun orders and brotherhoods come through periodically to talk and collect. I don’t have a problem with their good works, but I do have a problem w/ the nuns supporting this, and 2...thinking it is just fine to up the taxes on everyone else. We’ve always giving generously to the church and it’s causes, but if they are encouraging my taxes to go up, well we might not have much left to give them anything beyond the actual church expenses.
