Opportunity Summary:
The Pathways to Responsible Fatherhood Grants opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number HHS-2011-ACF-OFA-FK-0194) is a discretionary federal grant program run by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families, Office of Family Assistance. It was released to fund demonstration projects authorized under the Claims Resolution Act of 2010 (Public Law 111-291). The main purpose is to support programs that have the capacity and a proven track record of serving low-income fathers, with a strong emphasis on practical, wraparound help rather than isolated services.
Funded projects are expected to deliver a broad, coordinated approach to case management and support services for fathers. The program focus is on helping fathers strengthen and sustain positive relationships with their children and improve co-parenting or relationship dynamics with the mothers of their children where appropriate. At the same time, projects should directly address common barriers that keep fathers from achieving economic self-sufficiency, positioning the program as both a family-strengthening and employment-stability effort within the broader income security and social services category.
This funding opportunity falls under CFDA 93.086 (Healthy Marriage Promotion and Responsible Fatherhood Grants). HHS anticipated making about 37 awards, with an estimated total funding amount of $52,500,000. Individual awards were expected to range from $300,000 (award floor) up to $2,500,000 (award ceiling). There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement stated for applicants, which means applicants are not required to provide a financial match as a condition of the award.
Eligibility is broad across public and nonprofit sectors. Eligible applicants include state, county, city or township, and special district governments; independent school districts; federally recognized Native American tribal governments; and other Native American tribal organizations. Both 501(c)(3) nonprofits and certain nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education) are listed as eligible.
