Compassion
Capital Fund
The
primary purpose of the Compassion Capital Fund (CCF) program is
to help faith-based and community organizations increase their
effectiveness, enhance their ability to provide social services
to serve those most in need, expand their organizations, diversify
their funding sources and create collaborations to better serve
those in need. The CCF program administers two grant programs:
the demonstration program, which funds intermediary organizations,
and the targeted capacity-building program, which funds faith-based
and community organizations directly.
Under the demonstration program, CCF funds grants to intermediary
organizations that provide training, technical assistance and
financial support to faith-based and community organizations.
These grants help improve how faith-based and community organizations
function in the following areas: leadership development, organizational
development, programs and services, funding and community engagement.
Intermediary organizations provide training and technical assistance
to faith-based and community organizations and financial support
through sub-awards.
Under
the targeted capacity-building program, CCF funds faith-based
and community organizations directly for one year. Grantees use
these funds to build their capacity to deliver services to at-risk
youth, the homeless and those living in rural communities, or
to provide marriage education.
