Funding and Partnership Opportunities

The FCCRB is currently accepting One-Time funding proposals.  

PLEASE NOTE: At this time one-time funding is not being considered for operational and administrative cost related to the COVID-19 pandemic.   We will be addressing potential relief at a later time after we assess the economic ramifications of the reduction in sales tax revenues and find out what the federal and state government may be providing in the ways of relief to affected agencies.  

The perimeters of this one-time funding are as follows; the funding must fit into at least one of four categories and must be used by June 30, 2021. 

Technology and Equipment Needs – These needs could be anything needed that would be a one-time expense.  Examples – copy machines, computers, program specific equipment, secured cabinets for files, etc.  Equipment must be directly used to enhance the services provided to youth who fit into the service categories set forth in the state statute above. We will be giving special consideration to technology that allows for agencies to continue to maintain continuity of care during this and in future crisis.

Program Enhancements – Enhancements cannot change the basic service package.  Example of enhancements could be purchase of supplies for group/individual sessions, including but not limited to art supplies, journal materials, etc.  Other enhancements could be funding for group outings, marketing of program and services, curriculum, or materials to enhance counseling/home visits, etc.   Equipment/Supplies must be directly used to enhance the services provided to youth who fit into the service categories set forth in the state statute above.

One-time Project or Event – Project and Event that will benefit the youth of Franklin County and will further the mission and vision of the FCCRB.  Project or Event must fit into the service categories set forth in the state statute.

Pilot Project – Project that is new to Franklin County.  Pilot Project must fit into a service category set forth in the state statute above.  Pilot Projects are meant to allow agencies to try new and innovative interventions for youth. All Pilot Projects must have a plan for sustainability after funding period is over that does not include on-going funding from the FCCRB.

Capital Project – Examples – changes to existing offices in order to better serve children and youth, build out of new or existing spaces, purchase of large items needed to serve youth, building or renovation of a facility.  All Capitol Projects must have a plan for sustainability after funding period is over that does not include on-going funding from the FCCRB and must be directly used to enhance the services provided to youth who fit into the service categories set forth in the state statute above

The FCCRB would like to invite all providers of children’s services to please put forth an RFP for consideration.  

If an emergency situation has arisen and funding is needed, please contact the Executive Director, Annie Foncannon, to discuss.
