Ohio Children’s Trust Fund (OCTF) Statewide Child Abuse and Neglect Prevention Programs
Can you apply?
This grant is for Ohio-based service providers offering child abuse and neglect prevention programs. Applicants must be qualified family-serving entities providing direct services to families throughout Ohio. Programs must have statewide significance—benefiting the whole state, replicable across multiple counties with an implementation plan, and/or currently operating in most Ohio counties. Both primary and secondary prevention programs are eligible.
Program description
The OCTF is interested in funding service providers across the state to provide primary and/or secondary child abuse and/or child neglect prevention programs. All proposed programs must be designed specifically to prevent or reduce child abuse and neglect and must adhere to the definition of statewide significance. As part of this grant opportunity, statewide significance is defined as, “programs that will benefit the state as a whole, can be replicated across the state within several counties (inclusive of an implementation plan for replication as evidenced by a program manual and/or a webinar demonstrating how to replicate this program), and/or programs that are currently being implemented in a majority of Ohio counties.” The Ohio Children’s Trust Fund (OCTF) releases this Request for Grant Applications (RFGA) for the purpose of soliciting applications from service providers across Ohio to support the OCTF’s mission to prevent child abuse and neglect through investing in strong communities, healthy families and safe children. The Ohio Revised Code (ORC) 3109.17 (B)(2) allows the OCTF to, “Allocate funds to entities for the purpose of funding child abuse and child neglect prevention programs that have statewide significance and that have been approved by the Children’s Trust Fund Board.” This RFGA seeks to select at minimum eight (8) grantees. The responsibilities of the selected applicants will include implementing primary and/or secondary child abuse and neglect prevention programming in alignment with the requirements outlined in this request for applications. The OCTF will award funding only to qualified family serving entities that provide direct services and supports to families throughout Ohio.
