Types of Grants
- Community Engagement Grants
- Direct Service Program Enhancement
- This funding is to provide enhancement to existing programs that provide direct services to children/youth and families. The organization must have previous experience working with direct services. It is highly encouraged that the service to be addressed be demonstrated as a high-need or overlooked population, a necessary service in which barriers exist, or some physical/safety factor prevents access. Providers are not eligible if they currently receive other funding from The Children’s Trust, with the exception of Capacity Building (Small CBO) grants and the Innovation Fund.
- Only one of these grant awards will be made to an organization during the fiscal year and there can be no duplication of participants between programs with similar scopes of services. (i.e., two summer camp programs cannot serve the same participants at one site).
- The typical grant award is expected to be less than $20,000.00.
- Direct Service Program Enhancement
- Outreach Grants
