FEDERAL FUNDING RESOURCE: JUSTICE'S OFFICE OF JUVENILE JUSTICE AND DELINQUENCY PREVENTION ANNOUNCES NEW MENTORING GRANT COMPETITION
The Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP) has announced the following FY 2008 mentoring solicitations.
National Mentoring Programs invites applicants to propose the implementation of ready initiatives that will assist in the development and maturation of community programs to provide mentoring services to populations that are underserved due to locations, shortage of mentors, special physical or mental challenges of the targeted population, or other such situations identified by the community in need of mentoring services. Applicants are limited to national organizations, including community and faith-based nonprofit organizations.
Strengthening Youth Mentoring through Community Partnerships invites applicants to propose initiatives that will increase local communities' capacity to develop and implement mentoring programs and provide mentoring services, particularly to populations of at-risk youth who are underserved due to location, shortage of mentors, special physical or mental challenges, or other situations identified by the community in need of mentoring services. Applicants are limited to state governments, units or subunits of local government, and federally recognized tribal governments.
The application deadline for each of these solicitations is June 20, 2008,
and applicants should register with Grants.gov
as early as possible to prevent delays in submitting their applications by
the deadline.
