that an individual can be identified

individuals who are familiar with the

size, use this information to deduce the
identity of the beneficiary).

in the Privacy Act and information
security requirements. Employees who
maintain records in this system are
instructed not to release data until the
intended recipient agrees to implement
appropriate management, operational
and technical safeguards sufficient to
protect the confidentiality, integrity and

Proposed Projects
Title: Compassion Capital Fund
Evaluation—Initial Outcome Study.
OMB No.: New collection.
Description: This proposed
information collection activity is for an
initial outcome study that is one
component of the evaluation of the
Compassion Capital Fund (CCF)
program. The information collection
will be through mailed surveys to be
completed by selected faith-based and
community organizations that received
sub-awards from CCF grantees. The CCF
grantees are intermediary organizations
that provide capacity building services
to faith-based and community
organizations.
The CCF evaluation is an important
opportunity to examine the outcomes
and effectiveness of the Compassion
Capital Fund in meeting its objective of
improving the capacity of faith-based
and community organizations. This
initial outcome study component of the
evaluation will involve approximately
180 faith-based and community
organizations. Information will be
sought from these organizations to
assess change and improvement in
various areas of capacity resulting from
receipt of sub-awards.
Respondents: The respondents will be
selected faith-based and community
organizations that received sub-awards
in 2003 from nine selected CCF
intermediary grantees. The surveys will
be self-administered.
