About child abuse prevention grants

Child abuse prevention grants fund nonprofits delivering parent education, home visiting, respite care, family support, and community prevention networks. The federal Community-Based Child Abuse Prevention (CBCAP) program, authorized under the Child Abuse Prevention and Treatment Act and administered by the Children's Bureau, is a central funding stream, distributing dollars to states that in turn support local prevention programs.

A long list is the starting point, not the shortlist. Our grant prospecting guide shows how to narrow child abuse prevention grants down to the funders most likely to say yes, using their giving records.

Frequently Asked Questions

What grants are available for child abuse prevention?

Prevention grants support parent education and support, home visiting, respite and crisis care, public awareness, and the prevention networks that connect agencies serving children and families. The Community-Based Child Abuse Prevention program is a key source, funding a wide array of family-strengthening activities designed to reduce the likelihood of abuse and neglect.

Does the federal government fund child abuse prevention?

Yes. The Community-Based Child Abuse Prevention (CBCAP) program, established under Title II of the Child Abuse Prevention and Treatment Act and administered by the Children's Bureau, funds states to develop and expand community-based, prevention-focused programs. States then channel these funds to local nonprofits and family-support organizations.

How do local prevention nonprofits access this funding?

Because much federal prevention money flows through states, local nonprofits usually apply to their state's lead agency or designated prevention network rather than directly to the federal government. Connecting with your state's CBCAP lead agency, prevention coalitions, and community foundations is the most direct path to funding, supplemented by private and corporate grants.
