About child welfare grants in Illinois
Child welfare grants fund nonprofits working in foster care, family preservation, kinship care, adoption support, and services for children who have experienced abuse or neglect. The federal Children's Bureau within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' Administration for Children and Families is the primary public funder, administering both formula grants to states and tribes and competitive discretionary grants to organizations.

Frequently Asked Questions
What grants are available for child welfare nonprofits?
Child welfare funding supports foster and kinship care, family preservation and reunification, adoption and post-permanency services, and prevention programs that keep families together safely. The Children's Bureau awards competitive discretionary grants directly to organizations and distributes formula grants through states and tribes, which then fund local nonprofits.
Does the federal government fund child welfare services?
Yes. The Children's Bureau, part of the Administration for Children and Families at the Department of Health and Human Services, administers the nation's primary child welfare funding through a mix of formula and competitive discretionary grants. Many dollars flow first to state and tribal child welfare agencies, which contract with nonprofits to deliver services.
Who else funds child welfare work?
Beyond federal funding, state child welfare agencies, community foundations, and national child-focused foundations support child welfare nonprofits. Because much federal money passes through states, local organizations often pursue both state contracts and private foundation grants to fund a full range of services.
