11/17/2024 Why is CCHD Important?

11/17/2024

Distinct from the important work of direct service efforts, CCHD supports organizations and initiatives that address the root causes of injustice and poverty in America and empower those most impacted to address the systems and structures that perpetuate the cycle of poverty. CCHD invests in long-term strategies and approaches that can achieve lasting and impactful results to strengthen communities. CCHD also supports Economic Development efforts that significantly include the voice of poor and marginalized people in developing new businesses and enterprises that create social benefits, offer good jobs, and/or develop assets that will be owned and enjoyed by local communities. Now more than ever, the work of the Catholic Campaign for Human Development is vitally important.
