Harry Chapin Self-reliance Awards

Category

: Social Change

Description

The Awards, a partnership between World Hunger Year and the Harry Chapin Foundation, distributes cash grants to outstanding U.S. grassroots organizations that have moved beyond charity to creating change in their communities. Organizations selected to receive the Award are judged for their innovative and creative approaches to fighting domestic hunger and poverty by empowering people and building self-reliance. Of particular interest are organizations that are community based; whose total budget for the program that would use the award is less than $500,000; and whose program is replicable. Programs must go beyond emergency food, shelter, and other types of assistance and activities must address the root causes of poverty. Applications are available on the Web site.
