Community organizations interested in providing services to prevent child abuse and neglect can apply for Michigan Children’s Trust Fund grants.
The Children’s Trust Fund within the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services recently announced it is accepting competitive bids for the grants. Successful grantees can receive up to $50,000 per year for four years beginning in October.
This funding opportunity is for community-based secondary direct prevention programs/services designed to promote strong, nurturing families and prevent child abuse and neglect.

These direct services grants are paying for innovative services and supports statewide. Examples include:
• Evidenced-based home visitation programs such as Healthy Families America and Parents as Teachers.
• Services for families with incarcerated parents.
• Parent education support groups in family resource centers.
• Positive parenting using the Triple P Model.
