Brookdale Foundation Issues RFP for Relatives as Parents Program
The Brookdale Foundation is accepting applications for its Relatives as Parents program.
Established in 1996, the program aims to develop or expand services for grandparents or other relatives who have taken on the responsibility of surrogate parenting when the biological parents are unable to do so.
Through the program, up to fifteen programs will receive seed grants of up to $15,000 to start a new program or expand current services in response to caregiver needs. Services and assistance to relative caregivers and the children in their care must include regular ongoing support, educational or social groups, and at least two of the following: benefits and legal guidance, educational seminars, individual and/or family counseling, health care services, childcare, housing assistance, children’s services, group recreational activities, transportation assistance, services to special populations, services with local schools, or mental health services.
Through the program, the foundation will also provide ongoing technical assistance to recipients.
Selected applicants will be required to attend, as a guest of the foundation, an orientation and training conference, October 24-26, 2019, in Teaneck, New Jersey.
To be eligible, applicants must be considered tax exempt under section(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code.
See the Brookdale Foundation website for complete program guidelines and application instructions.
Deadline: June 12, 2019
