The Idaho Children's Trust Fund provides grants for projects designed to prevent child abuse and neglect within Idaho.

Funding considerations include:

• Shifting the focus from targeting family risks and deficits to building family strengths and resiliency
• Embedding effective prevention strategies into parenting and early care and education programs to strengthen and support parents and families
• Intentionally addressing neglect and the factors most frequently identified with it: history of trauma, poverty, maternal depression, substance abuse, and devaluing challenges of child rearing
• Targeting underserved populations, including rural communities, to increase community support and reduce the negative effects of social isolation

All grantees will be required to use the Protective Factor Survey (PFS2) if it is appropriate to do so. Contact Kim Himmert with questions as to whether your program is PFS2 appropriate.

Eligible applicants include public and private nonprofit and faith-based organizations, government agencies, and qualified individuals who provide community based educational and service programs designed to reduce or prevent child abuse and neglect in Idaho.

Grants range between $1,000 - $10,000.

A link to the application is available on the program website.
