OMB No.: New Collection. Description: This proposed information collection activity is for two rounds of surveys to be completed by faith-based and community organizations participating in two studies within the Compassion Capital Fund (CCF) evaluation project. The first survey will be conducted as a baseline survey and the second will be a followup survey conducted several months later. The CCF evaluation is an important opportunity to examine the PO 00000 Frm 00043 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 effectiveness of the Compassion Capital Fund in meeting its objective of improving the capacity of faith-based and community organizations. The evaluation includes three distinct studies: a random assignment impact study, an outcome study, and a retrospective study. This notice pertains to the impact and outcome studies. The impact study will involve up to 1,000 faith-based and community organizations that seek services from CCF-funded intermediary organizations. Information will be collected from these faith-based and community-based organizations to assess change and improvement in various areas of capacity. The study design includes the random assignment of faith-based and community organizations to either a treatment group that receives capacitybuilding services from a CCF intermediary grantee or to a control group that does not. The impact of the services provided by intermediaries, primarily through sub-awards and/or technical assistance (TA), will be determined by comparing the changes in organizational and service capacity of the recipient organizations with those of the control group. The outcome study will examine changes and improvements in a representative sample of about 750 faith-based and community organizations served by all CCF intermediaries operating in FY2005 and FY2006, except those already part of the impact study. The survey instruments will be used to track changes in the faith-based and community organizations’ organizational capacity between baseline and follow-up. Respondents: The respondents for both studies will be faith-based and community organizations that seek subawards or TA from CCF intermediary grantees. The baseline survey will be primarily self-administered and is expected to be completed as part of the intermediary’s sub-award application or TA request process. The follow-up survey also will be primarily selfadministered and contain questions similar to those in the baseline survey as well as additional questions related to services received from the intermediary or other organizations. It is expected that the follow-up survey will be administered approximately 12 months after the baseline survey. As needed to increase response rates, the survey will be administered by telephone to organizations that do not initially return a completed survey.

Title: Compassion Capital Fund Evaluation.
OMB No.: New Collection.
Description: This proposed information collection activity is for
two rounds of surveys to be completed by faith-based and community
organizations participating in two studies within the Compassion
Capital Fund (CCF) evaluation project. The first survey will be
conducted as a baseline survey and the second will be a follow-up
survey conducted several months later.
The CCF evaluation is an important opportunity to examine the
effectiveness of the Compassion Capital Fund in meeting its objective
of improving the capacity of faith-based and community organizations.
The evaluation includes three distinct studies: a random assignment
impact study, an outcome study, and a retrospective study. This notice
pertains to the impact and outcome studies. The impact study will
involve up to 1,000 faith-based and community organizations that seek
services from CCF-funded intermediary organizations. Information will
be collected from these faith-based and community-based organizations
to assess change and improvement in various areas of capacity. The
study design includes the random assignment of faith-based and
community organizations to either a treatment group that receives
capacity-building services from a CCF intermediary grantee or to a
control group that does not. The impact of the services provided by
intermediaries, primarily through sub-awards and/or technical
assistance (TA), will be determined by comparing the changes in
organizational and service capacity of the recipient organizations with
those of the control group.
The outcome study will examine changes and improvements in a
representative sample of about 750 faith-based and community
organizations served by all CCF intermediaries operating in FY2005 and
FY2006, except those already part of the impact study. The survey
instruments will be used to track changes in the faith-based and
community organizations' organizational capacity between baseline and
follow-up.
Respondents: The respondents for both studies will be faith-based
and community organizations that seek sub-awards or TA from CCF
intermediary grantees. The baseline survey will be primarily self-
administered and is expected to be completed as part of the
intermediary's sub-award application or TA request process. The follow-
up survey also will be primarily self-administered and contain
questions similar to those in the baseline survey as well as additional
questions related to services received from the intermediary or other
organizations. It is expected that the follow-up survey will be
administered approximately 12 months after the baseline survey. As
needed to increase response rates, the survey will be administered by
telephone to organizations that do not initially return a completed
survey.
