On Thursday, December 8, 2005, 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 conference in Nashville 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 experience with the government grants process, but are interested in producing more competitive applications.

The conference is free, but pre-registration is required. Registration is on a first-come, first-served basis. Visit www.fbci.gov to register online.

Please register by Friday, December 2. If you must cancel your registration, please send an email to fbci@dtihq.com so we may accommodate as many people as possible.

The conference is part of a series of regional conferences that are being held around the country. These conferences will provide participants with information about the Federal funding process, available funding opportunities, and the legal requirements that come with the receipt of Federal funds. They will also offer practical information on the grant-writing process, provide the opportunity to inform State and local officials about equal treatment regulations, and facilitate opportunities to network with government officials.

The conference will offer two workshop tracks: Federal Grant Programs and State-Administered Federal Programs. Both tracks have five sessions.

Conference attendees will have the opportunity to participate in both tracks.
