During the George W. Bush administration, federal funding for 501(c) organizations saw significant increases, particularly for faith-based and community groups under the Faith-Based and Community Initiatives (FBCI).
Timeline
and Key Increases:
· 2001: President
Bush established the White House Office of Faith-Based and Community
Initiatives and centers within federal agencies to expand the role of these
organizations in providing social services.
· 2003: Five key
federal agencies (HHS, HUD, Justice, Labor, and Education) reported a 41
percent increase in grants to faith-based groups. Overall, these five agencies
provided $1.17 billion in competitive grants to these organizations,
representing 8% of the $14.5 billion awarded.
· 2004: The
administration awarded $2 billion in grants to faith-based charities, a 20
percent increase over 2003.
· 2005: Competitive
federal grants to faith-based organizations saw an increase for the third
consecutive year, with over $2.1 billion in grants awarded by seven federal
agencies.
· 2006: Nonprofits won over $14 billion in direct, competitive federal funding across all 50 states and the District of Columbia. Data showed a 41 percent increase in competitive awards made to faith-based organizations between FY 2003 and FY 2006. Secular nonprofits also experienced an upward trend, with a 19 percent increase in awards from FY 2004 to FY 2006.
Overall
Impact:
The Bush administration's efforts, including regulatory reforms and outreach, aimed to level the playing field and empower faith-based and community organizations to compete more effectively for federal funds. The George W. Bush White House Archives states that these data trends indicate a "growing government inclination toward expansion of partnerships with nonprofits of all kinds to address social ills".
When did 501c federal funding increase under GW Bush ?
President
George W. Bush's administration saw a notable increase in federal funding
directed towards 501(c) organizations, particularly those involved in providing
social services, beginning in
2001 with the establishment of the Faith-Based and Community Initiatives (FBCI).
Here's
a breakdown of the timeframe and key points regarding this funding increase:
· 2001: President
Bush launched the FBCI with executive orders establishing the White House
Office of Faith-Based and Community Initiatives and centers at several federal
agencies. This marked the official start of the administration's efforts to
increase the participation of faith-based and community organizations in
federal funding programs.
· 2002: Executive
Order 13279 was issued, calling for equal opportunity for and equal treatment
of faith-based and other community organizations in social service funding.
This aimed to eliminate barriers that might prevent such organizations from competing
for federal grants.
· Fiscal Year (FY)
2003: Departments like Health and Human Services (HHS) and Housing and
Urban Development (HUD) reported significant increases in grants to faith-based
groups, with HHS seeing a 41% increase and HUD a 16% increase.
· FY 2004: Five
federal agencies provided $1.17 billion in competitive non-formula grants to
faith-based organizations, representing 8% of the total awarded funds. The
total federal government awards to faith-based groups reached $2 billion, a 20%
increase from 2003.
· FY 2005-2007: Competitive awards to faith-based organizations saw a significant increase, with a 41% rise in the number of awards from FY 2003 to FY 2006. In FY 2006 alone, faith-based nonprofits received $2.18 billion in competitive awards. In 2007, they won over 3,200 grants totaling more than $2.2 billion.
In summary, the increase in federal funding for 501(c) organizations under George W. Bush was a process that began with the launch of the Faith-Based and Community Initiatives in 2001 and continued throughout his presidency, with significant increases noted in the following years.

Comments
The
Christian Coalition supported George W Bush in the 2000 campaign and became a
propaganda arm of “Establishment Republicans”. Clinton had loaded up with
government directed social work. Bush gave this charter to friends of the
Church groups. The US needed jobs and thousands of Republican “Do-Gooders”
opened 501C
Non-profits.
In
1990, the United States national debt was $3.2 trillion. The USSR collapsed and
the “Cold War” ended. The “Pease Dividend” allowed the US to reduce Military
Spending. The “Global Economy” was the new fad.
Agenda 21 was being implemented under the “Climate Change” Hoax. Ross
Perot warned us that the national debt would be a problem. Half of us
Republicans voted for Perot and Democrat Clinton won the Presidency in thie
three-way race.
In 2000, the United States national debt was $5.674 trillion. In 2010, the total gross federal debt of the United States was approximately $13.56 trillion. Most of the increase in the Debt went to nation-building by Bush in Afghanistan and Iraq. In 2010, the Tea Party formed to object to the spending. In 2016, the United States national debt was approximately $19.19 trillion. Most of this increase in the Debt went to “Climate Change” by Obama.
In 2016, Trump won the Presidency and was supported by the Tea Party. The “Republican Establishment” was being replaced by the MAGA movement.
Now in 2025, in Trump’s second term, the national debt is $36 trillion and the Trump Agenda is underway. In the near term, increasing the “Private Sector GDP”, deporting Illegals to provide US citizens with jobs and lowering energy costs will re-set the US economy to benefit blue collar jobs and improve affordability.
The 501C problem remains for Congress to cut back on federal grants. States will need to prepare to fund their own needs. Withholding federal funding from rogue States and Universities will be required to make States end their “sanctuary laws” and Universities to reform or go private with no federal funding like Hillsdale.
