The mission of the Center is to empower faith-based and community organizations to apply for federal grants. The Center supplies resources and training, but it does not make the decisions about which groups will be funded. Those decisions are made through a careful competitive process established by each grant program. There will not be grant funding set aside for faith-based organizations, nor will there be a separate fund established by the White House, the Department of Education, or any of the other Centers for Faith-Based and Community Initiatives. This section is intended to provide general information about established grant programs that are open to the participation of faith-based and community groups. For the most up-to-date grant information, please contact the program staff.
Please bear in mind that the federal government operates on a fiscal year that runs October 1 through September 30. For a summary of all federal domestic programs, projects, services, and activities that provide assistance or benefits to the American public, please consult the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA). Other funding sources may be available through your state, city or county. In addition to public sources, funding may also be available from national and local private foundations and corporations. The Foundation Center's Web site is a good source of information for funding research.
