Targeted Capacity Building Program

In 2007, the Compassion Capital Fund funded 219 Targeted Capacity Building program grantees nationwide. Below is a list of these current grantees.

The Targeted Capacity Building program funds faith-based and community organizations with one-time awards to increase their capacity to serve targeted social service priority areas. Also known as the mini-grant program, this program awards up to $50,000 to grassroots organizations that address the needs of distressed communities. Specifically, the Targeted Capacity Building program focuses on capacity building among organizations addressing one of four areas of need:

  1. Help for at-risk youth
  2. Help for the homeless
  3. Marriage education and preparation services
  4. Social services to those living in rural communities
For more information on the elements of the Targeted Capacity Building program, visit About the Compassion Capital Fund.
