CCHD Community Development Grants Program

A program of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB), the Catholic Campaign for Human Development’s (CCHD) Community Development Grants Program is focused on promoting the mission of Jesus Christ and moving forward the priorities of the USCCB; in particular, protecting human life and dignity, strengthening marriage and family life, and nurturing diversity.  The Community Development Grants Program does this by supporting organizations that are led by people living in poverty and bring individuals together to change structures and policies that perpetuate the cycle of poverty.

To determine whether your organization is eligible for a Community Development grant, please review the grant policies, criteria, and guidelines carefully.  To apply for a CCHD grant, see CCHD's grants process and timeline.  Please note, CCHD requires that community development initiatives take a three-year break in funding after receiving six years of support. Contact your Grants Specialist to determine your organization's eligibility to apply for the 2012-2013 grant cycle.
