Resources for Faith-Based and Community Organizations
Compassion Capital Fund National Resource Center
The National Resource Center, which is funded by the Compassion Capital Fund (CCF), serves as an expert resource regarding faith-based and community initiatives and best practices. The Center develops and organizes a repository and distribution center for information, tools and other materials for faith-based and community organizations — and for organizations that work with these grassroots groups. The National Resource Center will help organizations develop capacity, increase knowledge and hone skills, as well as provide a forum for stimulating discussion about important issues.

Partnering with Government
Faith-based and community organizations often have questions about how to partner with the federal government. For example, faith-based groups may be concerned about issues related to the separation of church and state or about how to navigate the complex government grants process.
For information on how to partner with the Federal Government, please read Guidance to Faith-Based and Community Organizations on Partnering with the Federal Government.
