Compassion Capital Grant

The Compassion Capital Grant has been released. Go to

http://www.acf.hhs.gov/programs/ccf/ for information on these two faith-based friendly requests for proposals.

The grant is broken into two areas:

CCF Targeted Capacity Building Program has $15 million to give. Grants are up to $50,000 and will go to 300 faith-based and community organizations. The four priority areas are: at-risk youth, the homeless, voluntary marriage education and preparation services and social services to those living in rural communities.

The second amount of $16.9 million, from the CCF Demonstration Program, is available to up to 17 intermediary organizations which serve as a bridge between the federal government and faith-based and community organizations. Deadline for this grant is June 13, 2005.
