Shouldn't the catholic church, one of the richest organizations in the world, foot the bill to repair the basilica?

According to the Asheville Hot Sheet:

> The Basilica Preservation Fund has launched a fundraising effort seeking $10 to $12 million to fix water drainage and collection issues that have led to the degradation of mortar and grout in the 112-year-old Basilica of St. Lawrence in Asheville. Spanish builder and engineer Rafael Guastavino, who came to Asheville to work on the Biltmore House, designed and built the basilica, which features the largest unsupported elliptical dome in the U.S., a stunning display of engineering expertise. (The dome covers the 3,800-square-foot nave.) A group of architects, engineers and conservators examined the basilica’s structural soundness by rapelling down the exterior and using drones to photograph the building, then issued a report in 2020. They found a number of deficiencies, including that the building’s rainwater collection and dispersal system is too small for the structure and contributes to insidious water damage.

Ignoring the priceless market value of Vatican City and all of the art holdings, it is still one of the last true monarchies on Earth and as such the Vatican's net worth is estimated at $10 to $15 billion. The Vatican Bank holds over $8 Billion in assets

Why is the Basilica asking for donations? Shouldn't the Vatican be paying for the maintenance, upkeep, and repair of one of it's landmark churches?
