Federal Funding of Kinship Services in Action

Building on the Funding Kinship Services: A Primer on Federal Funding Sources resource published last year by the Grandfamilies & Kinship Support Network, this webinar will provide concrete examples of how kin-serving organizations across the country are accessing and using federal funds to support kin caregivers. Learn from several organizations that currently access different forms of federal funding and explore various ways to approach federal funding opportunities for kinship care. This webinar is designed for community-based organizations that provide support to kin caregivers; public agency representatives from child welfare, aging, TANF, and other kinship serving groups; and cross-sector funders interested in expanding kinship supports and services.

During the webinar we will:

• Demystify the process of seeking and applying for federal funding, from assessing opportunities, to preparing applications, and managing compliance.
• Highlight diverse application pathways that you can take, including applying directly, through intermediaries, or contracting as a government-funded service provider.
• Help you think more broadly about the possibilities of federal funding, including the potential of becoming a grantee and pursuing options beyond Title IV-E and Title IV-B.

Presenters:

• Steven Olender, Subject Matter Expert for the Grandfamilies & Kinship Support Network
• Others to be announced
