National and Mission Collection Resources

The Catholic Campaign for Human Development local grant application packet is available each spring. The Annual Campaigns Office accepts grant applications from organizations that support the efforts of people with low incomes to change the social, political and economic conditions which cause and perpetuate poverty in Western Washington. A preference is given to organizations controlled by low-income people. The 2020 Local Grant program is currently closed.

"The projects assisted by the Campaign have helped to create a more human and just social order, and they enable many people to achieve an increased measure of self-reliance."  — Pope John Paul II

The following are current recipients of national grants from the Catholic Campaign for Human Development. These funded projects operate in Western Washington. CCHD is committed to supporting groups of low-income individuals as they work to break the cycle of poverty and improve their communities. By helping those on the margins in our society to participate in the decisions and actions that affect their lives, CCHD empowers them to move beyond poverty.

An added benefit of receiving grants is the education that occurs in our parishes when connections are made with the funded organizations. CCHD is a unique effort in our Church, linking Catholic social teaching and organizing at local levels.
