Faith-based and community organizations have a long history of providing essential services to
people in need in the United States. In recognition of the unique ability that these organizations have to
meet the special needs of their communities, the Bush Administration has made it a priority to improve
funding opportunities for faith-based and community organizations. The Substance Abuse and Mental
Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) will hold a series of workshops to help remove unnecessary
barriers that may prevent these organizations from receiving federal funding.
These grant-writing workshops are being held for small, faith-based and community groups in
communities throughout the U.S. Participants will receive hands-on training in:
- Writing an application and understanding the grant process
- Matching project ideas to funding sources
- Developing a budget
- Establishing an evaluation plan
Participants will also receive the manual, "Developing Successful SAMHSA Grant
Applications," on which the training is based.
Workshop conference locations, dates and registration contacts for FY 2003 follow.
