Expanding partnership with grassroots organizations,
Implementing the FBCI through cabinet agencies,
Building mutually-reinforcing clusters of service;

Growing key elements of the FBCI in all 50 states,
Building the capacity of nonprofit sector leaders through training andtechnology,
Expanding public-private partnerships,
Forge a united strategy with the president’s call to service,
Catalyze the compassion agenda."
