Welcome to FaithBasedCommunityInitiatives.org. During the upcoming months as more details emerge from the new White House Office of Faith-Based and
Community Initiatives (OFBCI), we will be aggregating and
disseminating information about the new office and its
programs. Our Vision is to educate and assist new and
existing Faith-Based and Community Initiatives to apply and
qualify for competitive Federal Funding.
Effective immediately, the Federal Government has adopted
a new attitude to honor and not restrict faith-based and
community initiatives, to accept rather than dismiss such
programs, and to empower rather than ignore them.
In welfare and social policy, the Federal Government will
play a new role as supporter, enabler, catalyst and
collaborator with faith-based and community organizations.
The White House Office of Faith-Based and Community
Initiatives has been established to make Federal programs
more friendly to faith-based and community solutions and to
make federal funding more accessible.
By Executive Order, effective immediately, each of the
following Cabinet agencies will create its own Center for
Faith-Based and Community Initiatives to work in tandem with
the White House OFBCI, to make federal grants available to
Faith-Based and Community Initiatives nationwide.
- Cabinet Centers for Faith-Based and Community
Initiatives:
- Department of Health and Human Services;
- Department of Housing and Urban
Development;
- Department of Labor;
- Department of Justice; and
- Department of
Education.
FaithBasedCommunityInitiatives.org is a convenient web
gateway providing direct links to each of these 5 federal
agencies and their respective grant programs. We also
provide direct links to Charitable Choice Organization for
Faith Groups as well as a List of State Liaisons for
Faith-Based Initiatives. Grant descriptions, applications,
instructions, qualifications, and deadlines are now just a click away.
Check back often as we will be posting additional links and
information as it becomes available.
