NCDA has established this scholarship fund in memory of John Sasso, NCDA’s founder and first CEO, who passed away on August 2, 2016. John was a driving force in the community development field; working in the early stages of community development in the 1960’s and helping to create the CDBG program in 1974. He was a tireless advocate for the disadvantaged and this scholarship fund will be used to assist disadvantaged youth. Your donation to the John Sasso Scholarship Fund is tax deductible.
