White House Targeted Workshop on Faith-Based and Community Initiatives

Tuesday, February 7, 2006
8:00AM – 5:00PM

One North Second Street
Harrisburg, PA 17101

On Tuesday, February 7, 2006, the White House and the Departments of Justice, Commerce, Agriculture, Labor, Veterans Affairs, Health & Human Services, Housing & Urban Development, and Education, the Agency for International Development, and the Small Business Administration will host a targeted workshop in Harrisburg to help faith-based and community organizations learn more about President Bush’s Faith-Based and Community Initiative. The event is geared towards representatives from social service groups that have a track record of applying for government funding, especially those from groups that have not yet won grants.

The conference is free, but pre-registration is required. Registration is on a first-come, first-served basis. Visit http://www.fbci.gov to register online. We strongly encourage you to register online. Please register by Thursday, February 2. If you must cancel your registration, please send an email to [email protected] or a fax to the number listed above so we may accommodate as many people as possible.

The workshop is part of a series of regional conferences and targeted workshops that are being held around the country. The targeted workshops will offer grant writing tutorials for certain Federal grant programs that present some of the greatest opportunities for faith-based and community organizations. They will also provide the occasion for Federal officials to meet with State and local grant administrators about equal treatment regulations and facilitate opportunities to network with government officials.
