Planting Prosperity Program

The California Department of Social Services’ Office of Child Abuse Prevention is pleased to announce the release of the Planting Prosperity Program Request for Applications (RFA). A total of approximately $3,000,000 of federal funding will be available to fund up to ten grantees (at a level of approximately $100,000 per year, per grantee) to implement innovative primary or secondary prevention programs with a grant period beginning October 1, 2022 and ending September 30, 2025. Grantees must provide an innovative primary or secondary child abuse prevention program in California directly or through competitively-awarded micro-grants or subcontracts with community-based/neighborhood-level organizations that will operate new innovative prevention programs or which currently operate innovative primary prevention programs. Program Details Department of Social Services is a state agency that offers the Planting Prosperity Program grant program to support social services. This funding opportunity is available statewide and is administered by Department of Social Services through California Grants Portal.

Eligibility Eligible applicants should review the full program requirements on California Grants Portal for specific eligibility restrictions. Organizations that meet the eligibility criteria are encouraged to apply and to review the full program guidelines before submission. Because eligibility rules and funding priorities can change between cycles, applicants should always confirm the current requirements with Department of Social Services or on California Grants Portal before investing time in an application. Funding and Timeline Applications are due by April 29, 2022. Applicants should allow sufficient time to gather required documentation, including organizational information, project descriptions, budgets, and supporting materials as specified in the program guidelines. Submitting a complete application well ahead of the deadline reduces the risk of disqualification on technical or administrative grounds. Program Focus This grant supports social services.
