Deadline: 27 April 2020
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Arnall Family Foundation will provide individual grants of up to $20,000 to organizations in Oklahoma who serve children, youth, and families impacted by the child welfare and juvenile justice systems.
Social distancing guidelines are drastically changing the way these systems operate, but we believe that, now more than ever, it is important to help youth, foster families, kinship families, and families of origin feel connected and supported. Grants may be awarded to governmental organizations (with fiscal sponsors) and non-governmental organizations, and collaborations among multiple organizations are encouraged.
Proposals that fall into one or more of the following three areas:
- Programs that support kinship families, through service or resource provision
- Technology (hardware, software, internet or phone service) provided to:
- Support youth involved in child welfare and/or juvenile justice systems
- Facilitate interactions between children in foster care and their family of origin
- Support placement stability for children in foster and kinship placements
- Support reunification efforts for families involved in the child welfare system
- Support permanency for children involved in the child welfare system
- Programs that provide informal care options for foster families
Eligibility Criteria
- Government and nonprofit 501(c)3 organizations located in Oklahoma are invited to apply
- Government organizations must identify a 501(c)(3) fiscal sponsor in order to receive funds
- Organizations must have an operating budget of at least $350,000
- Faith-based organizations are not eligible for funding
