“The Catholic Campaign for Human Development (CCHD) was founded in 1970 by the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) as their domestic anti-poverty program. CCHD provides community and economic development grants for organizations led by people most affected by systemic injustices. Funds for CCHD are collected in parishes on the third Sunday in November. Donations to CCHD are accepted anytime. Please remember to select Catholic Campaign for Human Development on the pull-down menu.
CCHD applicants go through a screening process which includes a pre-application, full application, a site visit process, and a review by the CCHD Board and the Archbishop. Organizations which pass this process then move to the USCCB Subcommittee for CCHD for final approval.
If you would like to apply for grants, contact Adam Fitzpatrick here >>.
