Foothills' Compassion Capital Fund (CCF) Demonstration Grant will expand and strengthen the role of
20 organizations in their ability to provide social services to low-income communities. 

CCF funds are specifically targeted to provide technical assistance, training, and seed grants to faith- and community-based organizations seeking to both strengthen their service capacity to underserved populations and navigate the federal funding process. 

This grant, awarded by U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families, will allow Foothills to assist organizations in four Kentucky counties including Madison, Clark, Estill, and Powell.  With Foothills operating partner, Gateway Community Services Organization, the project will also service organizations in Bath, Menifee, Montgomery, Morgan and Rowan. 

In the Kentucky River Foothills four county area of Madison, Clark, Estill, or Powell Counties, eligible organizations include any small, nonprofit faith or community-based organization that provides critical human services to the community.  Smaller organizations with an operating budget of under $500,000 will be prioritized in the selection procedure. Organizations will be assisted with strengthening their capacity to serve low-income, homeless, elderly and at-risk youth with essential supportive services. There will be 10 such organizations selected in a competitive process in the four counties.  Awards will be for up to $20,000 for capacity building endeavors and will include a series of high quality training workshops.
