      "summary": "The Compassion Capital Fund (CCF) was created in 2002 appropriations law (P.L. 107-116) and has since been operated under the authority of annual appropriations acts and the research/demonstration project authority contained in section 1110 of the Social Security Act. It is intended to help build service capacity and skills among faith- and community-based organizations serving those in need, and encourage replication of effective service approaches\u2014it does not pay for direct services. Through FY2005, the CCF has spent some $167 million: (1) $124.5 million in matching grants to experienced \u201cintermediary\u201d organizations that aid and make sub-grants to local providers to help them improve and expand their services; (2) $22.8 million in capacity-building $50,000 \u201cmini-grants\u201d given directly to faith-based and community organizations; and (3) $19.6 million for research grants and other types of support.\nThe FY2006 appropriation is $65 million ($64.3 million after two across-the-board reductions applied to \u201cdiscretionary\u201d programs)\u2014up from $54.55 million in FY2005. As part of its $100 million FY2006 request, the Administration would have targeted some $50 million toward support for youth \u201canti-gang\u201d programs. And, while no specific amount is included in its appropriation, the CCF has decided to earmark $30 million of its FY2006 appropriation for these activities under a Communities Empowering Youth (CEY) project. The Administration\u2019s FY2007 CCF appropriations request is $100 million, but the House and Senate FY2007 appropriations measures (H.R. 5647/S. 3708) would provide only $54.55 million (the FY2005 amount).\nS. 6, the Family and Community Protection Act of 2005 (introduced January 14, 2005), contains provisions that would provide underlying law supporting CCF-like activities administered by various agencies.\nThis report will be updated to reflect new data and budget figures, major program changes, and\u00a0legislation.",
