The Presbytery of the Western Reserve in Northeast Ohio provides small grant funding through the Presbyterian Self-Development of People program, which seeks to empower groups of economically poor, oppressed, and/or disadvantaged people. Grants are available to local grassroots cooperatives organizing to create progressive social change, economic opportunity, and a more just community.

Grants are available for groups that
~Are oppressed by poverty and/or social systems
~Have a project that will address the problems they are facing
~Will control this project themselves and benefit directly from it
~Have a project that may bring long-term improvements to their lives and communities

This free workshop will explain the program and provide detailed information about the application process. The DEADLINE for submitting proposals for 2016 grants will be Friday, February 26th at 4:00 p.m.
