Catholic Campaign for Human Development

Organizing and Economic Development Grants

In organizing projects, people work together to address the needs of their community. Poor and marginalized people are empowered by joining together to make decisions, seeking solutions to local problems and finding ways to improve their lives and neighborhoods. These projects assist individuals to develop as community leaders and to mobilize the community's resources.  Economic development projects assist poor and low- income people to develop new businesses and create new jobs. Projects provide the potential for low-income people to share greater ownership of assets and participate in decision-making.  Grants are for up to $50,000.  Pre-applications are due November 1.  Complete information about the grants and the application process is available at http://www.usccb.org/cchd/grant.htm.
