The SBA office works with faith-based and neighborhood organizations to build awareness of SBA programs that can transform neighborhoods and change lives. The SBA has some great programs; but, all too frequently, the people who could take advantage of these programs have no idea they exist. That’s where faith-based and neighborhood organizations can help. Non-profits are great partners because they know their communities. They know their concerns, their needs and their personalities; and, most importantly, these organizations have won the respect of the people they serve.
About The White House Office of Faith Based and Neighborhood Partnerships
On February 5, 2009, President Barack Obama signed an executive order establishing the new White House Office of Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships. This Office and multiple designated Federal agencies, including the SBA, will work on behalf of Americans committed to improving their communities, no matter their religious or political beliefs.
