Funds available for events to prevent child abuse and neglect

The Hawai‘i Children’s Trust Fund is accepting proposals for community events designed to prevent child abuse and neglect. Eligible events include community events for families or training events where professionals and para-professionals can gain skills to enhance child abuse and neglect prevention services.

Events may focus on primary prevention, which targets the general population, or secondary prevention, which targets those who may be at risk for child abuse and neglect.
Preference will be given to events that demonstrate community partnerships and collaborations, those that are held in underserved communities, and those that demonstrate a match with other resources.

The 2008 submission deadlines are: Jan. 18, April 18, and July 11. Click here for more inormation about the Hawai‘i Children’s Trust Fund and to download a copy of the RFP.
