Local Grants
Where does this funding money come from?
In November each year, Catholic parishes across the U.S. take up a second collection for the Catholic Campaign for Human Development (CCHD). Of the funds collected in the Diocese of Davenport, 25% becomes available for distribution to projects within the diocese. The other 75% of the funds are forwarded to the national CCHD office for investment in projects around the country, including projects in our Diocese, which address the causes of poverty and injustice.
