Mission & Focus Areas
The organization’s mission is to promote the optimal early development, learning, and health of children by supporting and engaging their parents and caregivers. Its work includes training and supporting affiliates that deliver its evidence-based model, curriculum development, professional development, research, and quality improvement.
Its 2025 Challenge Grants supported affiliate projects in areas including maternal and infant mortality, family leadership, workforce development, program quality improvement, enrollment and recruitment, community responsiveness, and PBS engagement. The organization’s 2025 application guidance said funds were intended to strengthen affiliates and the families they serve, including by building affiliate support and infrastructure; project funding was limited to eligible affiliates.
Examples of 2025 grantees illustrate the range of organizations supported. The Parent Child Center of Tulsa described its mission as preventing child abuse and neglect through education, treatment, and advocacy. Tennessee Voices for Children described its work as referral, support, and advocacy for families and the systems that serve them. The Children’s Council of Watauga County said it works to strengthen families, the early childhood system, and the wider community.
Grantmaking
In filing year 2025, the organization reported 18 grants totaling $525,000. Grants ranged from $10,000 to $50,000, with a median of $25,000. The listed largest grants included $50,000 each to Tri-County Community Action Family Center in Pennsylvania, The Parent Child Center of Tulsa in Oklahoma, Tennessee Voices for Children in Tennessee, and the Children’s Council of Watauga County in North Carolina. Each was identified as a “challenge grant.” Other listed awards included $30,000 to Family Resource Center of Sheboygan County and $25,000 each to Community Based Care of Brevard County, Capital Area Healthy Start Coalition, Door to Hope, Friends of Youth - WA, Massachusetts Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children, New American Pathways, and Northwest Independent School District.
The 2025 Challenge Grant cycle is past. Its guidance said eligible applicants were Parents as Teachers affiliates in the United States, Canada, Germany, the United Kingdom, and Switzerland; curriculum partners and subscribers were not eligible. Affiliates could partner on one application, with one affiliate serving as fiscal agent. The guidance listed eligible project areas and stated that one affiliate could receive only one award across categories, including the separate PBS funding category. The 2025 continuation announcement said affiliates would receive an email invitation and that the RFP and application instructions would be posted January 13, 2025. The organization’s RFP page currently says there are no active requests for proposals.
