The Governor's Office of Faith-Based
and Community Initiatives
Montgomery, AL
In June 2004, the (Alabama) Governor’s Office on National and Community Service, established in 1993, was renamed in Executive Order #21, the Governor’s Office of Faith-Based and Community Initiatives to reflect the expanded responsibilities of the office. The mission of the Governor's Office of Faith-Based and Community Initiatives is:
“To build the capacity of individuals and organizations to serve and transform the communities in which they live.”
The Governor's Office of Faith-Based and Community Initiatives works to increase: (1) an ethic of service and volunteerism in the State of Alabama, (2) the capacity of faith-based and community organizations within the state to better compete for funding opportunities and (3) the collaboration among the people and organizations that are trying to meet the greatest needs of our state
