Under President Bush's Faith-Based and Community Initiative, USDA Rural Development is one of the USDA agencies ensuring that faith-based and community organizations have equal access to USDA programs and benefits. Rural Development is working with the Department to reach out and educate these organizations about our funding opportunities. We are committed to helping groups and individuals learn about and access Rural Development programs that can enhance their capacity to serve their community.
