Aviv Foundation Springboard Prize for Child Welfare

Overview

The Springboard Prize for Child Welfare is intended to provide support to awardees to implement their vision for a project. Funds should be spent within the limitations of supporting your early-stage project.

What do we mean by the “child welfare system”?

The child welfare system refers to the constellation of people and organizations that help to prevent, treat, and heal child abuse and neglect. The Springboard Prize for Child Welfare seeks to invest in interventions designed to mitigate abuse and neglect, support children and families involved in the system, and ensure their long-term well-being.

Second-round applications will have a greater focus on the Scalability and Achievability criteria.  Following the round-two application, we will have a semi-finalist round that consists of a virtual interview with invited applicants’ project leadership teams. References will also be requested at this time.
