The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's (HUD) Community Outreach Partnership Center Program and the Department of Commerce's University Centers Program are specifically for the use of universities in solving community problems, with grant opportunities also being available from the national Endowment of the parts. Private foundations such as the Fannie Mae Foundation, the Ford Foundation, the Kellogg Foundation, the DeVitt Wallace Foundation and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation provide "University-community partnership program" funding, with many of these grant opportunities not being available to the community without the involvement of a university partner.
