Sister Donna Markham OP, PhD, president and CEO of Catholic Charities USA (CCUSA), announced the CCUSA Innovation Challenge today during CCUSA’s Annual Gathering in Albuquerque. The challenge, which awards a total of $1 million to three agencies, seeks to inspire member agencies within the Catholic Charities network to propose a fresh solution toward alleviating, reducing or eliminating poverty.

“Building on this year’s Annual Gathering theme, Bold Ideas Create Great Change, I want to provide our ministry a platform to think creatively and innovatively about how they address the needs they encounter in their community every day,” said Sister Donna. “This challenge serves as a catalyst to encourage ideas that lead to systemic change in the way they address poverty.”
