Self Development of the People (SDOP)
SDOP, a Tri-Presbytery Committee
Presbyteries of the Redwoods, San Francisco, and San Jose
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, operated mostly by the people being helped. Grants are awarded after reviewing a group’s application and visiting to evaluate the organization. The funds for this grant come from our One Great Hour of Sharing offering and are distributed on an ongoing basis.
