The Rees-Jones Foundation: Child Protection

The Foundation is offering grant opportunities to organizations that work towards alleviating conditions harmful to families or placing children at risk of maltreatment. Eligible organizations include qualified public entities or organizations exempt from tax under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. Private foundations, commercial businesses, and individuals are not eligible for funding. The Foundation primarily focuses on supporting organizations that provide prevention services for youth and their families, including parent education and training, home visiting programs, and interventions that strengthen families. Additionally, the Foundation supports organizations that provide refuge from unsafe living conditions such as homelessness, as well as second-chance programs for struggling students or youth involved with the juvenile justice system. Grant requests should be submitted through the Foundation's online grantee portal. The Foundation accepts applications throughout the year but recommends submitting at least four months before funding is needed. Grant awards will typically not exceed 25% of a project's budget or 10% of an organization's total annual operating budget.
