Funding Alert from the Brookdale Foundation�s Relatives as Parents Program
The Brookdale Foundation announces the Relatives as Parents Program (RAPP) Local Seed Grant Initiative for the year 2007. RAPP is designed to encourage and promote the creation or expansion of services for grandparents and other relatives who have taken on the responsibility of surrogate parenting due to the absence of the parents.
Up to fifteen local agencies will be chosen from throughout the United States through a Request for Proposals (RFP) process. Each agency will receive a $10,000 grant over a two-year period [$6,000 in the first year and $4,000 in the second year if all grant requirements have been met], as well as training and technical assistance.
Copies of the Local RFP guidelines and application form may be downloaded directly from the Foundation’s website at www.brookdalefoundation.org in October, 2006.
The deadline for the submission of local proposals to the Brookdale Foundation is Thursday, January 11, 2007.
