About family services grants

Family services grants support programs that strengthen and stabilize families, including parenting education, family preservation, kinship care, and child welfare services. HHS's Administration for Children and Families funds family-strengthening work through programs tied to child welfare and the Social Services Block Grant. National funders like the Annie E. Casey Foundation and Casey Family Programs invest heavily in keeping families together and improving child and family well-being.

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

Among dated deadlines, 47% fall in October–December.

What family services grants are available?

Grants support family preservation, parenting and family-strengthening programs, kinship and foster care supports, and child welfare services that prioritize keeping families safely together. Federal funding flows through HHS's Administration for Children and Families, including child welfare programs and the Social Services Block Grant, while foundations fund prevention and family well-being initiatives. Most opportunities require nonprofit or public-agency status.

Who funds family services programs?

The Administration for Children and Families (ACF), part of HHS, is the leading federal funder of child and family services. Major private funders include the Annie E. Casey Foundation and Casey Family Programs, which focus on strengthening families and reforming child welfare systems, along with state human-services agencies and community foundations.

Are there grants focused on keeping families together rather than separation?

Yes. There is a strong policy and philanthropic shift toward family preservation and prevention, partnering to redesign child welfare around strengthening families and building resiliency rather than separating them. Funders like the Annie E. Casey Foundation and Casey Family Programs prioritize this approach, and federal child welfare funding increasingly emphasizes prevention services. Framing your program around evidence-based prevention can strengthen applications.
