Catholic group supports poverty self-help groups
The mission of the Catholic Campaign for Human Development is to address the root causes of poverty in the US through the support of community-controlled, self-help organizations and through transformative education.
CCHD’s community organizing grants support projects in which poor and marginalized people join together to seek solutions to local problems and find ways to improve their lives and neighborhoods. Applying organizations must demonstrate a change from traditional approaches to poverty by attacking the basic causes of poverty and by effecting institutional change. Eligible projects should directly benefit a poverty group who, in turn, should have the dominant voice in the project.
A Pre-application Eligibility Quiz should be submitted by November 1st.
