Title: Compassion Capital Fund 

Evaluation—Initial Outcome Study. 

OMB No.: New Collection. 

Description: This proposed 

information collection activity is for an 

initial outcome study that is one 

component of the evaluation of the 

Compassion Capital Fund (CCF) 

program. The information collection 

will be through mailed surveys to be 

completed by selected faith-based and 

community organizations that received 

sub-awards from CCF grantees. The CCF 

grantees are intermediary organizations 

that provide capacity building services 

to faith-based and community 

organizations. 

The CCF evaluation is an important 

opportunity to examine the outcomes 

and effectiveness of the Compassion 

Capital Fund in meeting its objective of 

improving the capacity of faith-based 

and community organizations. This 

initial outcome study component of the 

evaluation will involve approximately 

180 faith-based and community 

organizations. Information will be 

sought from these organizations to 

assess change and improvement in 

various areas of capacity resulting from 

receipt of sub-awards. 

Respondents: The respondents will be 

selected faith-based and community 

organizations that received sub-awards 

in 2003 from nine selected CCF 

intermediary grantees. The surveys will 

be self-administered.

(4) Minimize the burden of the
