Grant Opportunity: Strengthening Communities Fund
The District of Columbia Government’s Office of Partnerships and Grant Services (OPGS) seeks applicants to the Strengthening Communities Fund Capacity Building Program.
The Strengthening Communities Fund (SCF), created as part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA), is comprised of two programs, both of which are designed to enhance the ability of community and faith-based organizations to handle the broad economic recovery issues in their communities, including job training and retention and access to state and Federal benefits. This is a one-time, two-year grant.
These funds will be used for capacity building, training and technical assistance programs for nonprofit, community-based and/or faith-based organizations. Eligible programs must serve low-income neighborhoods such as, but not limited to, those in the District’s New Communities Initiative. Eligible organizations must implement, or be willing and able to implement, a continuum of job readiness, job placement, and job retention programs. Programs may include asset building, counseling and support services. Applications are due by 4 pm on March 12.
