This guide identifies and describes many potential funding sources for child-abuse-and-neglect and family- violence programs.
Abstract
This guide has two major components: sources of Federal funding and additional sources of information. The first component provides information on Federal agencies involved in child-abuse-and-neglect and family-violence activities. Each agency is briefly described to provide the reader with an overview of relevant agency activities and interests, including examples of discretionary grants and contracts funded by the agency in the past. Since Federal agency funding priorities are subject to change on a yearly basis, the reader is shown how to contact the agency directly. Many agencies maintain mailing lists to alert interested organizations and individuals on current funding opportunities. Direct contact with agencies can result in getting on these lists, as well as providing other means of being informed on funding issues. The guide's second component provides information on a variety of resources for finding funds, including publications, information clearinghouses, resource centers, national organizations, computerized databases, Federal regional offices, and State agencies. A brief description of each resource is provided to assist the reader in making appropriate selections.
