About the Compassion Capital Fund (CCF)
The Administration for Children and Families' Compassion
Capital Fund (CCF) was created in 2002. The primary purpose

organizations are uniquely situated to partner with the

families, particularly those with the greatest needs such
as families in poverty, prisoners reentering the community,
homeless families, and at-risk youth.
