Compassion Capital Fund Demonstration Grants (Government Grant)

The Compassion Capital Fund (CCF) Demonstration program helps faith-based and community groups build capacity and
improve their ability to provide social services to those in need. CCF funding has been awarded to more than 55
intermediary organizations to help smaller organizations manage their programs effectively, train staff, expand programs in
their communities, and replicate promising programs. Intermediary organizations receiving CCF grants also provide subawards
to a diverse range of faith-based and community organizations.
Technical assistance activities funded under CCF are conducted at no cost to interested faith-based and community
organizations and focus on capacity-building in the following areas: leadership development, organizational development,
revenue development strategies, program development, and community engagement.
Eligible applicants include non-governmental organizations, Indian tribal governmental organizations, nonprofit agencies,
including faith-based organizations, public agencies, State and local governments, colleges and universities, and for-profit
entities. To be eligible for a CCF grant, an intermediary organization should have established relationships with grassroots
faith-based and community organizations, as well as a proven track record in providing technical assistance to such
groups.
