| The Administration for Children and Families Announces Targeted Capacity-Building Grants The Administration for Children and Families (ACF) announces that applications will be accepted for new grants pursuant to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Compassion Capital Fund (CCF). The purpose of the CCF Targeted Capacity-Building grants is to help build the capacity of grassroots faith-based and community organizations that address the needs of distressed communities. The CCF Targeted Capacity Building Program funds capacity-building activities that produce measurable impact resulting in more sustainable organizations. The funding instrument is a Grant:
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. All grant proposals are due May 31, 2005 at 4:30 p.m. (Eastern Time). Organizations selected for funding will 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. Priority areas of need include the homeless, at-risk youth, couples who choose marriage for themselves, to develop the skills and knowledge to form and sustain healthy marriages, or social services to those living in rural communities. Based on the four priority areas of need, organizations must use funds to build their organizational capacity in at least one of these five critical areas: leadership development, organizational development, programs and services, funding, and community engagement. Grantees must use these awards to increase efficiency and capacity. Therefore, these awards cannot be used to augment or supplant direct service delivery funds. For further information on this opportunity call the National Resource Center at (866) CCF-

| "Raising More Money" Presentation (Flagstaff) - Raising More Money Nonprofit organizations all across the United States and Canada are recognizing the value of a mission-based fundraising system that allows them to tap into the 84% of all charitable contributions that come from individuals.

This refreshing alternative to the old fundraising mentality ultimately builds sustainable funding and gets the organization off the "treadmill" of year-to-year fundraising. Guests are encouraged to bring other staff, board, volunteers, and business associates to engage them in this practical and effective new team-based approach. (Please, no babies or children at the session.) Register soon; space is limited. You must register if you plan to attend so we can notify you if there are any changes to the session (date, time, location). Presenter: Lynda Bowman | |
