More information on funding trends
The Grandfamilies & Kinship Support Network hosted a webinar on June 25, 2024 to explore sources and tips for diversifying your funding for kinship services and programs, including through an array of federal programs often not accessed or thought of for kin. For example – you’ll hear how U.S. Department of Justice, Victim of Crime Act funds are used to provide kin with legal assistance and kinship navigator services. We also discussed state and local government funding, along with private sources, including foundations and corporations.
Then, to help you pitch your idea or create your formal proposal, we shared a Network-created funding toolkit that provides templates and other resources. Access the webinar recording above and empower yourself with ideas and tools to fund your services and supports for kinship/grandfamilies.
Presenters:
This webinar, co-hosted by Network partner ZERO TO THREE, will address how trauma can present in both kin caregivers and children in their care and how it impacts relational health.
In the first webinar of the series, Dory Thrasher, Senior SNAP Policy Analyst at FRAC, will discuss key topics related to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) and grandfamilies and kinship families.
As social service agencies and policy makers grapple with increasing demands for grandfamily and kinship housing, this webinar features two organizations that are providing much-needed housing for grandfamilies.
