People investing in people. The Self-Development of People program of the Presbyterian Church (USA) offers local and national grants to organizations helping people overcome poverty and oppression. The organizations must be grassroots and operated mostly by the people being helped. Grants are awarded after reviewing a group’s application and a site visit. The funds for this grant come from our One Great Hour of Sharing offering and are distributed on an ongoing basis.
