Funding for federal grants has been reduced across the board and grants for youth & families services is no exception.   Our 2016 Federal Grants Update Webinar provides a review of the 2016 federal budget, and is designed to help youth providers succeed in this highly competitive environment and creatively take advantage of the funding to be released during the 2016 grant season. It includes:

  • Examples of 2016 federal grants which support services to youth in high risk situations
  • When federal agencies are expected to release remaining federal grant announcements in 2016
  • The top 5 pitfalls of applicants in federal reviews and how to avoid them

To stay up to date on federal funding opportunities for youth, sign up for our alerts. You can also access brief summaries of recently released opportunities in our Knowledge Center. With the unprecedented fiscal landscape, organizations depend on MANY to identify and share potential funding opportunities, as well as effectively prepare them to be competitive through our webinars and proposal review services.  Last year, we helped organizations secure more than $40 million in federal funding to support local services.  In fact, 82% of organizations who utilized our personal proposal review service were successfully funded in 2015  – the cost effective combination of the webinars and the proposal review service will increase your organization’s ability and effectiveness to respond and secure federal grants. Here are a few of the recent federal funding announcements focused on serving youth at highest risk for victimization and/or delinquency.
