Human & Social Service Grants
Last updated June 15, 2026
There are currently 1,221 active human & social service grants in Grantable's free grants database, drawn from state and foundation sources and updated daily.
Human and social service grants help nonprofits deliver core supports like case management, child and adult protective services, disability services, and assistance for vulnerable families. Major federal funding flows through HHS's Administration for Children and Families, including the Social Services Block Grant (Title XX) and the Community Services Block Grant, which reach providers through state agencies and local Community Action Agencies. Private funders such as the Annie E. Casey Foundation and large community foundations also back human-services organizations.

Frequently Asked Questions
What human services grants are available?
Funding supports a broad range of human services, including case management, child and adult protective services, services for people with disabilities, employment and education supports, and crisis assistance. Federal block grants like the Social Services Block Grant (SSBG) and Community Services Block Grant (CSBG) are leading sources, alongside state human-services agency programs and private foundation grants. Most opportunities target organizations serving low-income and otherwise vulnerable populations.
Who funds human services programs?
The largest funder is the federal government, primarily HHS's Administration for Children and Families (ACF), which administers SSBG and CSBG and passes funds to states, territories, tribes, and local Community Action Agencies. State human-services departments, county governments, and private funders such as the Annie E. Casey Foundation and regional community foundations round out the field. Each has its own eligibility rules and priorities.
Do I need to be a 501(c)(3) to apply for human services grants?
Most foundation and many federal human-services grants require nonprofit status, typically a 501(c)(3) determination, though some funds also flow to government agencies and tribes. Because block-grant dollars are often re-granted through state agencies, the practical first step is to check both federal program rules and your state administering agency's requirements. Build relationships with your local Community Action Agency, which frequently subcontracts service delivery.
