Grants to Support Parents and Children

GRANT GUIDELINES

The CAP Fund raises money for programs that support parents so that every child has a good beginning. It  believes all parents and children can benefit from support…. “before any child is harmed.”

The Child Abuse Prevention (CAP) Endowment Fund  accepts grant proposals from community-based organizations for projects that support parents. 

· Supporting parents can take many forms and the CAP Fund is interested in any ideas and programs that you may have to accomplish that goal. 

· Connecting families to existing services is a priority, especially early childhood services and home visiting programs. 

· The earlier parents are engaged in supportive services and programs the better the outcomes for the whole family.

· Using CAP Funds to leverage matching funds is encouraged. 

· CAP Fund Grants typically range from $500 – $5,000. 

· Grantee must be a 501c3 or have a fiduciary that is a 501c3.

This year's deadline is October 31, 2023 

"We all need help as new parents.” says Rita McPhail, CAP Fund President and parent of two daughters. The CAP Fund is looking to the community for answers to the questions: What do families need to feel comfortable working with service providers ? How do we engage families successfully so both parents and children benefits from services?

If your organization has an idea for more successfully connecting families to early childhood services and programs, especially home visiting programs, the CAP Fund is interested in your ideas.
