> 2014 Small Grants Application Available from Catholic Campaign for Human Development for Community Organizing Projects 
> 
> Groups working to address the root causes of poverty and powerlessness in Tompkins county are invited to apply for a Catholic Campaign for Human Development small grant.   Proposals are sought for projects benefiting and led by groups of low-income people working together to bring about positive social change in Tompkins county.  These projects can focus on any of a variety of social justice issues aimed at rooting out poverty, such as access to health care, environmental stewardship, workplace justice, and affordable housing.  Grants are not available for individuals, or for projects doing direct social service or charity work; projects must aim to bring about institutional change.   
> 
> The small CCHD grants will be in the range of $500-$1700.   Grant decisions will be made by a local grants committee.   Application materials are available via Catholic Charities in Tompkins County by contacting Laurie Konwinski at LKonwinski at dor.org or 607-272-5062 ext. 12.     The deadline for submission of the application is Friday December 12, 2014.

> The Catholic Campaign for Human Development was established in 1969 by the U.S. Roman Catholic Bishops.  It is one of the largest funders of grassroots led, community based organizations in the United States today.  Funds for grants are generated through an annual collection in Catholic parishes across the country which supports both large and small community organizing efforts.  The Tompkins County small grants program is made possible through the generosity of the Catholic parishioners of this county.
