Compassion Capital Fund (CCF) Program - In 2002, the Administration
for Children and Families in the U.S. Department of Health and Human
Services (DHHS) funded 21 intermediary organizations to provide
technical assistance focused on capacity building to smaller faith-
and community-based organizations. In addition to technical assistance,
CCF intermediaries can also support smaller faith- and community-based
organizations through sub-awards.
To learn more about the CCF program and the next grant cycle, visit http://www.acf.hhs.gov/programs/fbci/progs/fbci_ccf.html. CCF has also established a National Resource Center. Learn more about the Center and access Center-related resources at http://www.acf.hhs.gov/programs/ccf.
Intermediary organizations such as nongovernmental organizations, tribal governmental organizations, nonprofit agencies (including faith-based organizations), public agencies, State and local governments, colleges and universities, and for-profit entities can apply for CCF grants.
Sub-awards are made to smaller faith- and community-based organizations by CCF intermediaries. To identify current CCF intermediaries, visit http://www.acf.hhs.gov/programs/fbci/progs/fbci_ccf.html.
Employment and Training Administration Grants for Intermediaries - In November 2003, the U.S. Department of Labor announced opportunities for intermediary organizations to compete for Employment and Training Administration (ETA) grants. Eligible intermediaries were defined as "nonprofit, community and/or faith-based organizations with established connections and working relationships to grassroots faith-based and community organizations with the ability to connect those smaller organizations and the people they serve to the local one-stop delivery system."
Grantees are expected to sub-grant a substantial portion of awards to eligible local grassroots organizations. These sub-grant awardees include smaller faith- and community-based initiatives that might provide services such as mentoring, soft skills training, transportation, childcare, use of space, and volunteer hours.
To learn more about the ETA program, visit http://www.doleta.gov.
