About social services grants

Social services grants fund programs that protect and support at-risk individuals and families, from child welfare and adult protective services to case management and crisis intervention. The Social Services Block Grant (Title XX of the Social Security Act), administered by HHS's Administration for Children and Families and distributed through state agencies, is the cornerstone federal source. Foundations focused on children and families, such as the Annie E. Casey Foundation, also support social-services nonprofits.

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

What social services grants are available?

Social services grants commonly support child welfare, protective services for children and adults, services for people with disabilities, child care, and case management. The Social Services Block Grant (SSBG) is a primary federal funding stream, supplemented by state social-services agency programs and private foundation grants. Eligibility usually centers on serving low-income or otherwise at-risk populations.

Who funds social services?

HHS's Administration for Children and Families (ACF) administers the Social Services Block Grant and distributes it to states as a capped entitlement, and states in turn fund local providers. State and county social-services departments, as well as private funders like the Annie E. Casey Foundation and community foundations, provide additional grants. Funding priorities and allowable service categories are set largely at the state level.

How do social services nonprofits access block grant funding?

Block-grant dollars like SSBG rarely come directly from the federal government to nonprofits; they pass through your state's administering agency, which sets local priorities and contracts with providers. Start by identifying that agency and reviewing its approved service categories and procurement process. Many providers receive funds through state contracts or subawards rather than open competitions.
