Funded by: Moriah Fund
Deadlines: ongoing
Summary: CCHD has two grant programs:
Community organizing 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.
Econonomic development grants: 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.
