To date, IYD, the largest grantee under the President's Compassion Capital
Fund Program, has made a total of 119 sub-awards that range between $5,000 and
$50,000. "These organizations are helping those with
the greatest needs across this country by focusing on their local communities.
The Compassion Capital Fund Program will help these organizations enhance
their capacity by competing for federal grants, contracts, and cooperative
agreements so they can become more effective at meeting community needs. However, the faith-
based or community organization must be the fiscal agent as well as the lead
partner.
