Mission & Focus Areas
FCP’s stated mission is to support the behavioral health and human service needs of children, young adults, and families in Bucks County. Its website describes eligible services broadly, including direct mental health care, referrals and education, and community programs such as after-school activities, summer programs, and drug and alcohol prevention education.
FCP awards grants only to nonprofit organizations supporting these needs in Bucks County. Examples among its 2025 grantees include Valley Youth House Committee Inc., whose mission is to empower and strengthen children, youth, and families through inclusive programming; Woods Services Inc., which describes itself as providing services to people with intellectual disabilities, autism, traumatic brain injury, and complex behavioral and medical challenges; and Family Service Association, which says its programs address mental health, substance use, homelessness, parenting and family skills, and children’s futures.
Grantmaking
In 2025, FCP awarded 73 grants totaling $548,005. Grants ranged from $600 to $32,500, with a median award of $5,000.

Capital Improvement Grants provide up to $15,000 for facility improvements, durable equipment, or IT infrastructure, with a 12-month final report. Partnership in Youth Services Grants provide up to $5,000 and give preference to first-time applicants or organizations that have not applied in the past five years; the listed February 1, 2027 deadline is upcoming.

For applications, FCP uses an online application process. Its application requirements call for a letter of inquiry before a full application for several programs, including Bucks Innovation and Improvement, Capital Improvement, Emergency Action, Nonprofit Growth, and Target Funding. Partnership in Youth Services has no letter-of-inquiry stage. FCP invites first-time applicants to an initial introductory meeting before an application can proceed. Applicants must support the stated Bucks County mission and meet the program’s nonprofit eligibility requirements. FCP does not fund, among other things, individuals, political causes, religious activities, stand-alone research, deficit financing, or unqualified pass-through organizations.
Review Cycle
Bucks Innovation and Improvement and Capital Improvement Grants list recurring deadlines of October 1 for the fall letter of inquiry and October 15 for the full application, and April 1 for the spring letter of inquiry and April 15 for the full application. As of October 2, 2026, the October 1 inquiry deadline has passed. Partnership in Youth Services lists a February 1, 2027 deadline.
How to Apply
Submit an online application through FCP’s application process.
