The Catholic Campaign for Human Development (CCHD) was created by the bishops in the United States in 1969 to break the cycle of poverty in the United States. CCHD has a twofold mandate: to fund low-income controlled projects that will break the cycle of poverty, and to educate Catholics about the root causes of poverty within the context of Catholic Social Teaching.

The annual campaign occurs the weekend before Thanksgiving. Seventy-five percent of the money collected is sent to the national office to fund two kinds of national grants: Community Organizing and Economic

Development Program. The remaining twenty-five percent is used to fund local grants. Successful local grant applications are also in compliance with the mandates of CCHD. Both levels of grants are evaluated by the local five-member CCHD committee.
