Subject: Forecast ($120M) for Healthy Marriage/Relationships and Fatherhood programs
Dear Friend,

Are you looking for funding? Want to expand your program or create new opportunities to serve youth in your community? 

Three new opportunities ($120M) are forecast from the Office of Family Assistance. You can view those forecasts through our website:
  1. Relationships, Education, Advancement, and Development for Youth for Life (READY4Life)
    READY4Life is designed to reach youth (ages 14-24), including young fathers.
  2. Fatherhood - Family-focused, Interconnected, Resilient, and Essential (FIRE)
    Fathers ages 18 and up may be served.
  3. Family, Relationship, and Marriage Education Works - Adults (FRAMEWorks)
    Individuals and couples ages 18 and up may be served.
The forecasts anticipate that RFP will be posted March 23, 2020. Once the grants go live, we will be completing a toolkit for each and email you once again.
 
To prepare to write a strong application, we suggest that you spend these next weeks to:

1) Make a PLAN
  • Know the population and the community you intend to serve and understand everything you can about them – needs, demographics, etc.
  • Figure out which settings will offer the best opportunities for your funding activity and why. What are the rules and regulations of working in those settings? (i.e., if working in a school, which class is most suitable for this instruction?) 
2) PICK a PROGRAM
  • Explore the intervention(s) you may want to provide that are best suited for your population and setting.
  • Request an online review copy from Dibble for your team. 
    Love Notes – for high needs, older youth (14-24)     
    Relationship Smarts PLUS     – for younger youth (12-16)
    Mind Matters     – for people who have experienced trauma – youth, adults, couples, fathers
    Money Habitudes     – for financial management
3) Reach out to PARTNERS
  • NOW is the time to build relationships with any partners you feel will to make your grant activity successful. 
  • Brainstorm with them how best to deliver the program, any barriers to participation and how to overcome them, who will be instructing, and best ways to recruit and retain your intended population.
NOW is the time to PLAN, PICK, and PARTNER! 

Please let me know if you are interested in applying!

Kind regards,

Dixie
