Tom Harkin: “The Compassion Capital Fund will provide grants to public/private partnerships to help charitable organizations develop…”

On the recordNovember 7, 2001
The Compassion Capital Fund will provide grants to public/private partnerships to help charitable organizations develop ``best practices'' as a social service agency. The goal of grantees of the Compassion Capital Fund will be to improve the effectiveness of social programs and community initiatives around the Nation. The Senate has not yet debated the President's Faith Based Initiative, and the Senator is correct that this fund is only for the development of model best practices.
