Nonprofit Grant Deadlines

Grants for youth and family programs

This page gathers open grants for work with children, teens, parents and caregivers. That includes early childhood programs, mentoring, family support, services for children exposed to violence, and youth reentry.

Many of these grants come from justice and human services agencies, so the application may ask for outcomes in terms of safety or stability, not only program activity. Have your participant numbers and any evaluation results ready before you start.

Programs that work with minors usually need to describe staff screening and safeguarding. Community foundations also fund this work locally, so check the state pages for smaller awards that may suit a new or small program better than a federal grant.

Pick a grant below, open the official notice, and check who can apply before anything else.

13 open listings right now. The next deadline is November 2, 2026. 2 research calls match, collapsed below.

Deadline times and time zones vary. Check the funder's page for the exact cutoff.
