SAMHSA Hosts Grant-Writing and Technical Assistance For Grassroots
Faith
and Community Groups

Faith-based and community organizations have a long history of providing
essential services to people in need in the United States.  In recognition
of the unique ability that these organizations have to meet the special
needs of their communities, the Bush Administration has made it a priority
to improve funding opportunities for faith-based and community
organizations. The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration
(SAMHSA) will hold a series of workshops to help remove unnecessary barriers
that may prevent these organizations from receiving federal funding.

These grant-writing workshops are being held for small, faith-based and
community groups in communities throughout the U.S. Participants will
receive hands-on training in:

*       Writing an application and understanding the grant process
*       Matching project ideas to funding sources
*       Developing a budget
*       Establishing an evaluation plan

Participants will also receive the manual, "Developing Successful SAMHSA
Grant Applications," on which the training is based.

Workshop conference locations, dates and registration contacts for FY
2003 follow.
