The Presbyterian Committee on the Self-Development of People (SDOP)
The Presbyterian Committee on the Self-Development of People (SDOP) aims to empower economically poor, oppressed, and disadvantaged people who are seeking to change the structures that perpetuate poverty, oppression, and injustice. Support is available to groups in the United States that are oppressed by poverty and social systems, want to take charge of their own lives, have organized or are organizing to do something about their own conditions, and have decided that what they are going to do will produce long-term changes for their lives or communities. Projects must utilize some combination of the SDOP core strategies to promote justice, build solidarity, advance human dignity, and advocate for economic equity. In addition, projects must be presented, owned, and controlled by the group of economically poor people who will directly benefit. (Internationally, applications are accepted from Panama, and work is done in Guatemala, Nicaragua, and Nigeria through intermediary partners.)
There are no deadlines.
