Deadline: 15-Jun-22
The Duke Endowment is seeking proposals for its Child and Family Well-Being Grant Program.
They exist to fulfill the legacy of North Carolina industrialist and philanthropist James B. Duke. All grantmaking is guided by an Indenture of Trust in which Mr. Duke set forth specific funding guidelines focused on children, rural churches, health care and higher education in the Carolinas. While the Trustees have full discretion over year-to-year disbursements, all grants must be in accord with the wishes of Mr. Duke that they support lives and communities in North Carolina and South Carolina.
Areas of Work
- Support for Implementation of Tested Programs
- Commit to Innovation or Advocate for Improvement
Funding Categories
-
Their funding is divided into three broad categories.
-
Implementation support for evidence-based programs/implementation support for grants reflects the value they place on proven programs and effective practices driven by active implementation. “Active implementation” contrasts with the usual practice of passively spreading knowledge. Rather than “letting change happen,” they work with organizations and agencies to “make change happen” for children and families through proven programs. They value established approaches with clear records of success and replicable models, including:
- Multisystemic Therapy (MST)
- Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT)
- Strengthening Families
- The Incredible Years
- Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT)
- Positive Parenting Program (Triple‑P)
- Other proven approaches will be considered as well.
- Advocating for System improvements grants prioritize educating and advocating with policy makers, public funders, public agencies and others to accelerate policy and practices changes.
- Advancing innovation grants reflect the investment in projects that advance innovation when high-achieving, successful models are lacking.
