Opportunity Summary:
The Mentoring Children of Prisoners Training and Technical Assistance opportunity was a discretionary federal funding announcement from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families (ACF), specifically through the Administration on Children, Youth and Families (ACYF) and its Family and Youth Services Bureau (FYSB). It was structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning the federal agency expected to have substantial involvement with the recipient during the project rather than simply issuing a grant with minimal ongoing engagement. The central purpose of the award was to support a national training and technical assistance effort aimed at strengthening, expanding, and continuously improving the quality of services delivered by local and state agencies that match children with mentors when a parent is incarcerated. In practical terms, the award focused less on providing direct mentoring to individual youth and more on building the capacity, standards, and effectiveness of the mentoring providers themselves through training, technical support, and quality improvement practices.
Funding for the announcement was estimated at $1,200,000 in total, with an award ceiling of $1,200,000 and an award floor listed as $0, and the government anticipated making one award. The funding activity category was Income Security and Social Services, and the program was tied to CFDA number 93.616 (Mentoring Children of Prisoners). A cost sharing or matching requirement applied, so applicants were expected to contribute non-federal resources toward the project consistent with the terms laid out in the full announcement.
Eligibility was broad and included many types of domestic U.S. organizations and governments. Eligible applicants listed in the notice included state governments, county and city or township governments, independent school districts, federally recognized tribal governments, and other tribal organizations. It also included public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, nonprofits both with and without 501(c)(3) status (excluding higher education institutions in those nonprofit categories), for-profit organizations other than small businesses, and small businesses. The eligibility notes also emphasized that local governments, Indian/Native American tribally designated organizations, Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions, and faith-based and community organizations were eligible to apply. Foreign entities, however, were explicitly not eligible under this announcement.
