The Catholic Campaign for Human Development was warned in both 2011 and 2012 that the Tompkins County Workers Center (TCWC) had ties to local New York socialist networks and was an affiliate of the pro-abortion Jobs with Justice coalition. This grantee was never officially defunded by the CCHD but was not funded by the CCHD between 2013 and 2020. Keep in mind that CCHD has not released its most current official grantee list with funding amounts. However, it does present an updated list of CCHD … [Read more...]
Catholic-Funded Organizations and Networks Financially Tied to Massive Pro-Abortion Initiative
From 2009 through 2012, members of the Reform CCHD Now Coalition had regular communication with the leadership of the Catholic Campaign for Human Development (CCHD).

As such, we are treating it as a funded group until CCHD proves otherwise. Last year, we reported that WCCNY … [Read more...]
Catholic Bishops’ Agency Admits to Deceptive Funding Scheme, Breaking Own Grant Rules
We have reported on CCHD grants since 2009, first as part of the Reform CCHD Now Coalition, and more recently as part of our mission as the Lepanto Institute. While there have been plenty of grants to horrible organizations, and not much transparency from CCHD leadership in their responses to our reports, one thing has not been at question; namely, that the organizations listed on CCHD’s own grants list are the recipients of the grants, and that no grantees were hidden from the public. This … [Read more...]
Another Catholic-Funded Organization Is Planned Parenthood Partner
Recently, the Lepanto Institute detailed activities and memberships of three Nashville-based organizations funded by the Catholic Campaign for Human Development (CCHD) that violate both Catholic teaching and the CCHD’s own grant guidelines. We followed up with a second report, even worse than the first, detailing a CCHD grantee actively partnering with and promoting Planned Parenthood. We have yet to receive an official response regarding these reports. Further research shows that a FIFTH … [Read more...]
