Mission Statement

We will strive to facilitate creative, effective programming that
addresses the immediate needs of children in crisis while seeking long
term solutions to the abuse, neglect and abandonment problem
facing the children of our community.

Grants are administered in two cycles during the course of a fiscal year, Cycle
1 being January through April and Cycle 2 being July through October.

Grants are for programs that target the problems of child abuse, neglect,
and/or abandonment in Dade and Broward Counties.  Those who apply are
encouraged to promote new and innovative programs.

The average grant awarded is between $ 10,000.00 and $ 25,000.00.  Grants
may be approved for the full amount request or for any portion thereof.

After the receipt of a complete application, a site visit may be scheduled to
clarify or provide any other information necessary for decision making
regarding grants.

Pre-applications for Cycle 1 and 2 must be submitted by February 1st and
August 1st respectively.  Please refer to the chart below for the specific dates
and deadlines for each of the two grant cycles.

Those Pre-applications that are not accepted in any cycle will automatically be
retained for consideration for one additional grant cycle.
