CRS Grant Criteria

CRS Grant Application

The Catholic Campaign for Human Development is dedicated to breaking the cycle of poverty by funding programs that encourage independence.  You are essential to its success.  Your generous donation gives those in poverty the support they need to make lasting changes.  25 percent of funds collected remain in our diocese to fund local anti-poverty projects.  By supporting this collection, you are giving those on the margins a hand up, not a handout.  Together we can make a difference in families and communities across the United States.  Please donate prayerfully and generously. Thank you. New grant applications will be available in 2022.
