CCHD Awards 2013 Grants

10/1/2013

0 Comments

 
The Catholic Campaign for Human Development (CCHD) is the domestic anti-poverty program of the U.S. Catholic Bishops and works to break the cycle of poverty by helping low-income people participate in decisions that affect their lives, families and communities. CCHD offers a hand up, not a hand out. Groups who receive funding from CCHD identify problems that affect them and then work to find just solutions. Two Connecticut groups that will receive national funding this year are the Connecticut Coalition for Environmental Justice and Teach Our Children.

The CT Coalition for Environmental Justice is a grassroots organization whose mission is to improve urban environmental health through educating the community, promoting change in government policy, and promoting responsibility towards the environment. Teach Our Children, a parent-led organization of New Haven parents, organizes to improve the New Haven Public Schools.

Local grant money, disbursed by OCSJM on behalf of CCHD, was also allocated to the following groups: Meriden Children First, Naugatuck Valley Housing Development Corporation, United Action Connecticut, and United Connecticut Action for Neighborhoods, Inc./Caring Families Coalition.

For additional information on CCHD and how it works with local groups, visit the CCHD page on the OCSJM website. If you are interested in learning more about the grant process or would like to become part of our Grant Review Committee, please contact Lynn Campbell at (203) 777-7279.
