What is CCHD? The Catholic Campaign for Human Development (CCHD) is the domestic anti-poverty program of the U.S. Catholic Church. It was founded in 1969 and established in 1970 to respond to both systemic poverty and racial injustice occurring throughout the country. Since beginning its work in 1970, CCHD has awarded over $462 million in grants supporting more than 12,000 community-based, grassroots-led organizations.The Catholic Campaign for Human Development provides grants to more than 200 low-income, community-led organizations each year, which is made possible thanks to the generous contributions of Catholics to the annual collection every November on the World Day of the Poor.
