The White House Office of Faith-based and Community Initiatives is hosting a series of Regional Conferences and Targeted Workshops on President Bush's Initiative in cities across the country. The conferences are free but pre-registration is required. Representatives from faith-based and community organizations that have a track record of applying for government grants, particularly those who have not yet won grants, should attend.

In our efforts to extend members' reach and expand the role they play in supporting and strengthening communities, AmeriCorps works with many faith-based and community organizations.
How AmeriCorps and Faith-based and Community Organizations Work Together
FCBI helps connect faith-based and community organizations to AmeriCorps and other Corporation programs, ensuring that these groups have the capacity, tools, and volunteer power they need to help America’s communities flourish.
Perhaps one of the most important roles AmeriCorps can play for your organization is the generation of volunteers. Each AmeriCorps member typically recruits and manages twelve community volunteers, expanding the capacity of faith-based and community organizations to achieve their mission and building community involvement and support.
The Corporation and AmeriCorps are committed to supporting President Bush’s call to strengthen the work of the thousands of faith-based and community organizations that provide compassionate assistance to millions of Americans.
We hope our new publication, National Service: A Resource for Faith-Based and Community Groups, gives you a better understanding of how the Corporation works with faith-based and other community organizations and how we can help you accomplish your goals.
