Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number HHS-2011-ACF-ACYF-CA-0147) is a discretionary federal funding announcement from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families, under CFDA 93.590 (Community Based Child Abuse Prevention Grants). Its purpose is to fund community-based child abuse and neglect prevention programs serving Native American and Migrant populations, in line with Title II of the Child Abuse Prevention and Treatment Act (CAPTA). CAPTA requires that 1 percent of Title II funds be reserved specifically for Tribes, Tribal Organizations, and Migrant Programs, and this announcement is the mechanism used to distribute that set-aside funding.
The central goal is prevention: reducing the first-time occurrence of abuse or neglect and also preventing recurrence in families already affected. The announcement emphasizes building stronger and more comprehensive family support systems, with a clear focus on strengthening family life and intentionally engaging fathers as part of prevention and support strategies. Funded projects are expected to improve child safety and overall family well-being through practical, community-rooted services that lower stress, increase parenting capacity, and connect families to resources before crises escalate.
The types of activities that can be supported are broad but must fit within child abuse prevention and family support aims. Examples listed include voluntary home visiting services, respite care to give caregivers short-term relief, parenting education and skill-building, mutual support efforts such as peer groups, family resource centers that function as hubs for supports and referrals, marriage education, and related family support services. While the program does not limit applicants to only these models, it strongly encourages the use of evidence-based and evidence-informed programs and practices, signaling that applicants should be ready to explain the research basis or credible practice rationale behind their approach and show how it fits the needs of the community served.
A required element of funded work is evaluation. Grant funds must be used not only to deliver services but also to evaluate the programs and services supported, meaning applicants should plan for data collection, outcome tracking, and analysis that demonstrates what was implemented, who was reached, and what results were achieved. Another major expectation is coordination: funded projects should develop stronger linkages with the CBCAP State Lead Agency in their state (the entity that administers CBCAP funds under Title II of CAPTA). The intent is to avoid isolated efforts and instead build alignment with statewide prevention systems, referral pathways, training resources, and broader prevention planning.
For FY 2011, the agency anticipated making three awards total, structured as one award to a Tribe, one to a Tribal Organization, and one to a Migrant Program. The estimated total funding listed is $416,889. The maximum award amount (award ceiling) is $138,963 per grantee for a 12-month budget period, with an award floor of $0 (meaning there is no stated minimum award level). The announcement notes that this amount reflects the maximum federal share and ties it to statutory limits (not exceeding one third of one percent of the federal appropriation for Title II for each 12-month budget period). No cost sharing or matching is required, which lowers the financial barrier for eligible applicants.
Eligible applicants include federally recognized Native American tribal governments, Native American tribal organizations (other than federally recognized governments), and migrant programs with the capacity to establish, maintain, and evaluate community-based child abuse and neglect prevention programs. Nonprofit organizations are also eligible if they operate or plan to operate migrant programs, and they may apply whether or not they have 501(c)(3) status (as long as they otherwise meet eligibility requirements). The announcement allows collaborative and interdisciplinary projects, but it requires that the application clearly name a primary applicant organization responsible for managing the grant and being accountable for performance and fiscal administration. Faith-based and community organizations are eligible if they meet the stated requirements. Individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorships are explicitly not eligible to apply or receive awards.
Key timing details reflect that this was a 2011 funding cycle. The opportunity was posted April 5, 2011, with an original closing date of July 5, 2011, and a current closing date of July 7, 2011.
