Rice County Family Services Collaborative is on the lookout for innovative projects that can make a significant difference in the lives of families and children. According to a recent announcement, the Collaborative's Governing Board is now accepting grant applications for its two-year cycle starting July 1, 2026, and ending June 30, 2028. The funding aims to support services that enhance family and child well-being for those aged 0 to 18, with a strong focus on holistic improvement in various key areas.
The specific areas of interest for grant proposals include Parental Resilience, Social and Emotional Competence of Children, Support to Families with Young Children, Concrete Support in Times of Need, and Knowledge of Parenting and Child Development. Per guidelines, applicants must outline plans that not only align with the mission of the Collaborative but also establish partnerships, address a gap in services within Rice County, and actively involve program participants. The deadline to submit proposals is set for 4:00 p.m. on January 29, 2026, as detailed by an article on the official Rice County website.
Those interested in applying for the grant can obtain more information and request an application by reaching out to the Rice County Family Services Collaborative via email at [email protected]. For any further questions, Kelsey Duffy is available as the Rice County Family Services Collaborative Staff Support at (507) 226-7694, or interested parties can send an email to [email protected].
