CCF Targeted Capacity Building Program

AGENCY: Administration for Children and Families (ACF)

DEADLINE: April 10, 2007

FUNDING: $50,000 per 12 month project period; 200 anticipated awards dispersing $10 million

The purpose of the CCF Targeted Capacity Building Program is to help build the capacity of faith-based and community organizations that address the needs of distressed communities. A distressed community is defined as a neighborhood or geographic community with an unemployment rate and/or poverty rate equal to or greater than the State or national rate. The Targeted Capacity Building Program will focus on capacity building among organizations addressing the following programmatic service areas: help for at-risk youth; help for the homeless; marriage education and preparation services to help couples who choose marriage for themselves develop the skills and knowledge to form and sustain healthy marriages; or social services to those living in rural communities.

Applicants must use the funds in one of the four social service priority areas of need (e.g., at-risk youth, homelessness, healthy marriage, or rural communities) toward their organization’s capacity building in at least one of five critical areas of capacity building: 1) leadership development, 2) organizational development, 3) program development, 4) revenue development strategies, and 5) community engagement.

ACF encourages and will grant preference to organizations whose annual operational budget is less than $500,000 or whose Tribal membership is less than 5,000.
