A Faith-Based Organization's Complete Guide to Government Contracts, Grants & Federal Portals
The only step-by-step guide written specifically for faith leaders entering the federal marketplace — at exactly the moment the federal government's own policy blueprint is directing agencies to actively recruit them as partners.
The Book
A complete, practical framework for faith leaders who are ready to pursue federal contracts and grants — written by a government contracting strategist who spent eleven years in ministry before she ever opened a federal portal.
How to structure your organization properly before engaging the federal marketplace — the legal and registration foundation every faith-based organization needs first.
A complete, plain-language walkthrough of SAM.gov registration — the federal gateway that must be completed before your organization can receive any federal award.
How to identify the right NAICS codes for your ministry's services, pursue WOSB, 8(a), and other certifications, and write a capability statement agencies actually read.
How to find federal opportunities on SAM.gov and Grants.gov, respond to sources sought notices, and position your organization for its first federal award.
What happens after you win — maintaining SAM.gov registration, reporting requirements, record-keeping, and building a federal funding track record that lasts.
Each chapter ends with a concrete action item — making this an ideal course adoption text and a practical workbook for workshop series and training programs.

About the Author
Government Contracting Strategist & Compliance Specialist
Fayetteville, North Carolina
LaSonya DeBose spent eleven years in ministry before she ever opened a federal portal. What she found on the other side changed the trajectory of her work — and became the foundation for everything she now teaches. She understood firsthand what it meant to lead a faith community with limited resources and unlimited vision, and she refused to accept that the two could not be reconciled.
Today, LaSonya is a government contracting strategist and compliance specialist based in North Carolina. As the founder of Pen 2 Paper Consulting and Pen 2 Paper Publishers, and a certified Woman-Owned Small Business (WOSB/EDWOSB), her work spans government contracting, business consulting, and publishing. Her expertise in SAM.gov registration and federal procurement has made her a trusted resource for small business owners and faith-based organizations navigating the government marketplace.
Called and Contracted was created to help the organizations most trusted by vulnerable communities gain access to the federal resources they have always deserved but too rarely pursued. LaSonya wrote this book for the faith leader she once was — the one doing extraordinary work without the federal resources to sustain it.
