Grant Funding
Throughout Lent, we receive the One Great Hour of Sharing Offering. This "people investing in people" offering returns to Presbytery of the James as grants awarded by Self-Development of People to "change the structures that perpetuate poverty, oppression, and injustice."
In 2018, SDOP awarded a grant to the Brookland Park Young Leaders Project. A portion of the grant is supporting four block clubs, a monthly community clean up, a community garden, a senior support team, a food co-op, an oral history project, and a music team.
Your gift to One Great Hour of Sharing invests in local people. Thank you for making similar grants possible in 2019.
