Grants Program

Annual Program Grants

The FPWA Grants Program awards grants on an annual basis to member agencies to support new direct service projects or enhance existing social service programs. Currently, each grant award is $20,000.

*Grants must address emerging social service issues or needs that the agency has identified.

The Program Grants RFP is issued every year to member agencies in Late Spring with a bidders conference held soon thereafter. Technical assistance and proposal writing training are offered during the proposal writing period with proposals due in September.

Grant review and selection is completed in November when agencies are notified of the results. Grants are awarded in February and implementation takes place over the following year. The next RFP and schedule will issued in October 2011 and a bidders’ conference will be held that month. Proposals will be due November 1, for projects to run April 1, 2012 to March 2013.
