at USAID by executive order on December 12, 2002, to level the playing

U.S. Department of Agriculture
Center for Faith-Based and Community Initiatives
The mission of the center is to empower faith-based and other
community organizations to apply for federal social service grants. The
center supplies information and training, but it does not make the decisions
about which groups will be funded. Those decisions are made through procedures
established by each grant program and generally involve a competitive
process. No grant funding is set aside for faith-based organizations.
Instead, the Faith-Based and Community Initiatives create a level playing
field for faith-based and other community organizations so that
they can work with the Federal Government to meet the needs of America's communities.

Those decisions are made through procedures established by each grant
program and generally involve a competitive process. No grant funding
is set aside for faith-based organizations. Instead, the Faith-Based
and Community Initiatives create a level playing field for faith-based
and other community organizations so that they can work with the
government to meet the needs of America's communities.

and regulatory barriers and develop innovative programs to foster partnerships
between DOL-funded programs and FBCOs. It educates organizations about
local opportunities to collaborate with and participate in national grant
programs. It also works with local government officials and administrators
