Presbyterian Hunger Program (PHP)

Funds for NGOs
Last date 30 April 2016

Activities: Others

About The Presbyterian Hunger Program (PHP), a ministry of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.), works with Presbyterians and other partners to alleviate hunger and eliminate its causes, responding with compassion and justice to poor and hungry people in local communities in the United States and internationally.
 
Alleviating hunger and eliminating its causes is at the very heart of the church's life.  When the world tolerates the vicious suffering of hungry people, the church is called to speak out and share all that we have.  When powers and principalities regularize exploitation, the church witnesses to the fullness of life God intends for all. When people are made poor and vulnerable or reduced to objects of pity, the church builds relationships of dignity and equality among all. Even at the risk of losing its own life, the church is called to point beyond ourselves to the new reality in Christ.  Praying and working with Presbyterians and other partners, that it may be "on earth as it is in heaven" the Presbyterian Hunger Program helps the church respond to the violence of hunger and poverty with compassion and justice, here in the US and around the world.
 
To achieve this ambitious mission of the church, PHP works in partnership with programs that address hunger and its causes in the United States and around the world in five project areas as described in the Common Affirmation on Global Hunger. PHP supports work in five project areas.
 
Through giving to the annual One Great Hour of Sharing offering and year-round support of the Hunger Fund, Presbyterians provide PHP with approximately four million dollars per year to support our work. PHP seeks to fulfill its mission through strategic grant-making, print and web educational and worship materials, partnership collaborations and participatory programs that allow us to recognize and love especially the most vulnerable of our neighbors next door and across the planet.
 
About the Grant:Grants for International Projects Outside of the United States
Despite great efforts, nearly 870 million people still go to bed hungry each night, the vast majority of whom live in developing countries. Poverty, unjust economic systems, conflicts, and climate change are some of the primary causes of hunger today. In order to work toward ending hunger and poverty, we believe that not only is it necessary to respond to the immediate needs of people, but to also address the unjust structures and systems which contribute to their impoverishment.
 
General Criteria
 
The Presbyterian Hunger Program will consider proposals which meet the following requirements:
The proposed activity shall fit into at least one of the five programmatic areas:
 
Direct Food Relief - the proposed activities will help make food available to people who cannot provide for themselves on a temporary basis or permanently. Relief programs should also include long-range solutions to the problems affecting such communities.
 
Development Assistance - The proposed activities should help bring about long-term improvements to the quality of life of poor people in more than one way. These activities should aim to increase self-reliance and empowerment of poor people.
 
Public Policy Advocacy - The proposed activities will advocate through just and peaceful means, political and/or economic policy changes which a) provide food for poor and hungry people; b) empower their self-development; or c) promote freedom from oppressive and unjust systems that fail to meet basic needs.
 
Lifestyle Integrity - The proposed activities will assist the church to move toward sustainable corporate and personal lifestyles sensitive to the reality of the earth’s limited resources and the critical needs of the poorest of the human family.
 
Education and Interpretation - The proposed activities will educate the church and the public at large about local and global root causes of hunger in a particular country and around the world.  They shall prepare and motivate people to act and to educate others and provide opportunities for being in solidarity with and learning among poor communities.
 
The proposal will work to lessen hunger and poverty and to address their causes.
The proposed activity will come from an organization.  Proposals will not be accepted if they come from private businesses or from individuals. The PHP will not accept applications from governmental structures. 
 
The proposed activity will benefit poor people, especially women, racial ethnic persons or other disadvantaged groups.  Those benefiting will be involved in the planning and implementation of these activities.
 
The proposed activities will promote a just sharing of the earth's resources and the protection of the environment.
 
The organization which is applying will have good working relations in its own country with a national church body, whether or not it is a formal partner of the Presbyterian Church USA. It also may show existing relationships with community organizations, government agencies and other programs that share the same goals. In order to support local self-reliance, PHP will give priority to applications submitted by organizations in the geographic area of the proposed activities.
 
The application will propose activities for which there are:
 
Clearly stated goals and objectives;
Feasible methods for attaining these goals and objectives;
A method of annual evaluation;
A clear and adequate budget, reflecting both expected income and expenditures;
A reasonable long range plan for self-sufficiency and/or increasing local support;
Sufficient staff and/or volunteers to accomplish its objectives; and
