Catholic Campaign for Human Development Information
CCHD is the domestic anti-poverty campaign of the U.S. Catholic Bishops designed to be an educational/action program to address the root causes of poverty in our country. CCHD funds are raised through an annual collection each fall throughout the nation. The national funds are disbursed in two ways. 75% of the money collected each fall is sent directly to the national office of CCHD to be awarded to grant recipients whose work addresses conditions of poverty in specific critical areas such as community organizing and development, economic development, education and economic justice. 25% of this annual collection remains in the Archdiocese of San Francisco to be distributed through this local grant process.
The purpose and goal of the local CCHD grant process is to support the efforts of low-income individuals to actively change the economic, social and political structures which are the root-causes of and perpetuate poverty in our midst. Specifically, we aim to provide financial as well as leadership development and technical assistance to newly developed or start-up organizations or projects wishing to increase their internal organizational capacity and strengthen their functions.
