The cathedral is both the [[Cathedra|episcopal seat]] of the Bishop of Washington (currently [[Mariann Edgar Budde]]) and the [[primate (bishop)|primatial seat]] of the Presiding Bishop of the Episcopal Church (currently [[Michael Curry (bishop)|Michael Curry]]). Budde was elected by the Diocese of Washington in June 2011, to replace Bishop [[John Bryson Chane]]; upon her confirmation in November 2011 she became the ninth bishop of the diocese and the first woman to fill the role.

The [[National Cathedral Association]] (NCA) seeks to raise and provide funds for and promote the Washington National Cathedral. Across the United States, it has more than 14,000 members, more than 88 percent of whom live outside the Washington area, and who are divided into committees by [[U.S. state|state]]. Visitors to the cathedral provide another significant source of funds, through donations and group touring fees. Every year, each state has a state day at the cathedral, on which that state is recognized by name in the prayers. Over a span of about four years, each state is further recognized at a Major State Day, at which time those who live in the state are encouraged to make a [[pilgrimage]] to the cathedral and dignitaries from the state are invited to speak. American state flags were displayed in the [[nave]] until 2007; currently the display of the state flags alternates throughout the year with the display of liturgical banners hung on the pillars, reflecting the seasons of the Church year.

The budget, $27&nbsp;million in 2008, was trimmed to $13&nbsp;million in 2010. Staff was reduced from 170 to 70. There was an endowment of $50&nbsp;million.<ref name="gowen" />
