LOUISVILLE â The Presbyterian Committee on the Self-Development of People (SDOP) has approved grants totaling $118,000 to 30 community-based projects in the United States aimed at alleviating the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The money is from the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.)âs One Great Hour of Sharing offering. SDOP receives 32% of undesignated OGHS gifts.
In 2020, SDOP marked 50 years of partnering with economically poor, oppressed and disadvantaged community groups. The funds that would have been used for its 50th anniversary celebration have instead gone toward awarding COVID grants to communities facing critical needs.
