CCHD, in policy and practice, denies funding to groups that take positions contrary to Catholic teaching
Memo to Bishops from Bishop Roger P. Morin, CCHD Chairman; October 2, 2009

"CCHD Subcommittee and staff take seriously any allegation that groups we fund are not in compliance with Catholic teaching, or are participating in partisan political activity. We immediately investigate each allegation in consultation with the local diocese and, if the allegations are confirmed, discontinue funding immediately. We are always examining ways to strengthen and improve our monitoring efforts to ensure that all of the 250 current grantees comply with CCHD criteria. This is an ongoing process, involving both local dioceses and national CCHD staff."
