Welcome to the Administration for Children and Families'
web page on the Faith-Based and Community Initiative (FBCI).
President George W. Bush's Faith-Based and Community Initiative
represents a new approach to government's role in helping those in need.
President Bush, through Executive Orders, established the White
House Office of Faith-Based and Community Initiatives and the eleven
Department Centers for Faith-Based and Community Initiatives to support
the essential work that faith-based and community organizations do in our
communities.
The goal of this office and these centers is to help grassroots
organizations compete equally for federal dollars and face fewer bureaucratic
barriers.
