EPPC Grant Management & Services

Faith and Community Based Organizations (FCBO’S) play a major role in cultivating the virtues that are essential for self-government and a healthy civil society. Public policy should recognize the important civic contribution of FCBO’s and continue to level the playing field in federal social service programs by reviewing procedural issues that disadvantage these organizations from participation.   The reach of FCBO’s often extends beyond that of government social service programs in changing lives. Government should continue to protect the religious liberty and integrity of faith-based organizations that participate directly and indirectly in government social service programs.

EPPC helps build skills and practices among FCBO’s that will allow them to effectively compete for funds. Our purpose is to support and equip these organizations to effectively compete for and secure public resources. By connecting the best grant writers in the nation, and the best training available to support the mission and services of faith and community based organizations.  EPPC will help return the faith and community based organizations to the leadership role as “provider of first resort,” and as a primary influence on policies that stabilize and strengthen families and individuals.
