AVANCE offers grants to support Hispanic parenting program

AVANCE, Inc., a national nonprofit organization that provides parent and early childhood education programs along with other family support services, is accepting proposals from qualified nonprofit organizations serving low- income Hispanic families to expand the AVANCE Parent-Child Education Program.

PCEP promotes community economic development, positive parenting skills and behaviors, school readiness, parental school involvement, adult education, and civic engagement to achieve a simultaneous impact on both parent and child. The program has been shown to improve the school readiness of children from birth to three years of age and has had a life-changing impact on Latino families through partnerships with community-based organizations.

Applicants must be nonprofit 501(c)(3) organizations with the capacity to serve a minimum of twenty-five families.  The grant program allows for a one-time payment of $50,000 to selected organizations to help with initial year setup costs. Selected partners must commit to continuing the AVANCE program as a licensee for two years.
