One of the cornerstones of the FBCI is to conduct a broad and targeted effort to help Americans rally to the aid of their neighbors in need. The following are just a few of the successes of the FBCI toward implementing this central goal.

Making frontline nonprofits central in Federal efforts to address human need
Whether battling poverty, disease, or a host of other social ills, government resources are consistently paired with the local and personal touch of community organizations.

Establishing a "level playing field" for faith-based organizations in Federal partnerships
Clear, constitutional guidelines are now in place for government funding of faith-based charities, and Federal policy welcomes religious charities as vital allies in serving those in need.

Strengthening the vital work of nonprofits
Hundreds of training events, technology-based resources, capacity-building funds, and other initiatives have helped grow the effectiveness and impact of frontline nonprofits in addressing critical needs across America and around the world.

Expanding the FBCI vision at the State and local level as an effective problem-solving strategy
Governors, mayors, and other leaders at every level of government are replicating FBCI principles on a bipartisan basis to address some of the most important challenges their communities face.

Embedding FBCI principles in America's international aid and development efforts
From the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief and the President's Malaria Initiative, to micro-enterprise projects and anti-human trafficking efforts, American and indigenous nonprofits play an expanded role at the frontlines of service around the world.

Expanding private response to need
From promoting a culture of volunteerism through USA Freedom Corps to expanding tax incentives for personal giving, President Bush has championed efforts to grow the involvement of citizens, corporations, and foundations in supporting frontline nonprofits.

Creating innovative funding models for government-nonprofit partnership
Leaders at every level of government can now draw upon an array of partnership models to help grassroots groups access Federal funds and enable government to tap their distinctive strengths.

Bringing life-changing aid to millions in need
Community and faith-based nonprofits have delivered effective help to returning prisoners, recovering addicts, vulnerable youth, AIDS orphans, homeless veterans, and countless individuals and communities at home and abroad.
