The Child and Family Advocacy Center Fund FY2025 is a grant opportunity established by the Arizona Legislature through an appropriation from the State General Fund. This initiative aims to provide financial support to Child and Family Advocacy Centers (CFACs) across Arizona. These centers play a critical role in assisting child and family victims of abuse, neglect, and related issues by offering coordinated services in collaboration with law enforcement, medical professionals, and social services. The funding is administered by the Arizona Attorney General’s Office (AGO) to ensure that eligible CFACs receive financial assistance to continue their work in serving victims.

This funding opportunity provides multiple, one-time grant awards, with a total available funding amount of $100,000. The award amounts will be determined based on the number of victims served by each CFAC in the 2023 calendar year. The grants are non-recurring and are intended to support CFACs in their continued operations and service delivery. There is no matching fund requirement for applicants.

Eligible applicants for this grant include local government entities, Native American tribes, nonprofit organizations, and state government agencies operating within Arizona. Organizations must demonstrate their eligibility and provide relevant documentation to be considered for funding. The application process requires applicants to submit necessary materials and information by the specified deadlines.

The application period opens on February 28, 2025, and closes on April 11, 2025. Interested applicants should ensure that all required documents are submitted before the deadline. There is no indication of a rolling application process, meaning all applications must be received within the given timeframe. The funding decisions and award announcements are expected to be made following the review of all submitted applications.

Applicants may direct any questions regarding the grant process to Cindy Palmer, Procurement Manager at the Arizona Attorney General’s Office. She can be reached at 602-542-7986 or via email at Cindy.Palmer@azag.gov. Additionally, applications must be submitted to the Arizona Attorney General’s Office at 2005 N Central Ave, Phoenix, AZ 85004.
