Proposals are sought for projects benefiting and <u>led by</u> 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. </font> <br> <br><font size="3" face="Times New Roman">The Catholic Campaign for Human Development was established in 1969 by the U.S. Roman Catholic Bishops. It is the #1 funder of community organizing 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 . </font> <br> <br><font size="3" face="Times New Roman">The small CCHD grants will be in the range of $500 to $1100. Grant decisions will be made by a local grants committee.
