Compassion Capital Fund Offers Funds for Faith-Based and Community Groups

Nonprofits—including community and faith-based organizations and Tribal organizations—are invited to compete for grants of up to $50,000 under the Compassion Capital Fund Targeted Capacity Building Program.

CCF Targeted Capacity Building grants are awarded to grassroots faith-based and community organizations serving distressed communities. These grassroots organizations must use the funds in one of the four social service priority areas of need (e.g., at-risk youth, homelessness, healthy marriage, or rural communities) toward their organization’s capacity building in at least one of five critical areas of capacity building: (1) leadership development, (2) organizational development, (3) program development, (4) revenue development strategies, and (5) community engagement.

The Office of Community Services anticipates awarding a total of $10 million in grants to approximately 200 organizations. The application deadline is April 10. Click here for more information.
