July/August 2005Vol. 6, No. 6Federal Grant Writing Toolkit

The ARC (Accessing Resources for Community and Faith-Based Organizations) Initiative, a project of the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention's National Training and Technical Assistance Center, has created a new toolkit designed to help community and faith-based organizations effectively navigate the Federal funding process.

Originally developed to supplement trainings conducted in 2004, the ARC toolkit provides information in nine areas:

  • Building and maintaining partnerships
  • Establishing a 501(c)(3) organization
  • Evaluating current capacity to secure Federal funds
  • Finding training and technical assistance
  • Identifying funds
  • Identifying and securing grant writers and other consultants
  • Learning from promising programs and practices
  • Writing winning grants
  • Web-based glossaries

The website also features an interactive learning community. Complete information about accessing and using the toolkit is available on the ARC website at https://www.nttac.org/index.cfm?event=arc.Toolkit
