Opportunity Overview
California’s FY2026-27 Bullying and Violence in School Advocacy Supplemental Program supports counseling, advocacy and other services for children and teenagers who have been victimized by bullying or school violence. The verified program guidance expressly states that grant funds may not be used for prevention-focused activities.
Funding and Deadline
The California Grants Portal lists $254,998 in total estimated funding, with 1-2 awards and an estimated award range of $1-$127,500. A 20% match is required. The California Grants Portal lists the application deadline as September 14, 2026 at 11:59 PM, but it does not state a time zone. Atlas therefore treats the exact deadline as unverified for outreach purposes and does not infer a time zone. The performance period runs January 1 through December 31, 2027.
Eligibility
Eligible applicants are nonprofit or governmental agencies. Applicants must satisfy the Cal OES entity requirements, including a UEI registered in SAM.gov and the additional eligibility conditions in the full guidelines.
Competitive Project Direction
The strongest applications should focus on post-victimization counseling, advocacy and support, show a clear service pathway for affected children and teenagers, document qualified staff and referral partners, and build an eligible 20% match. Prevention campaigns or general school climate programming should not be substituted for the victim-service purpose.
Atlas Strategic Analysis
N9+ Direct Vendor Fit: 0/100. This is a school behavioral-health and victim-support opportunity, not a clinical telehealth or remote-exam technology grant. No direct N9+ capture pathway is supported by the verified scope.
Next Steps
Review the Cal OES supplemental guidelines, verify nonprofit/government eligibility and SAM/UEI status, and confirm the controlling deadline time zone directly in the Grants Central System before submission. Fewer than 48 hours remain, so Atlas will not initiate new applicant outreach for this cycle.
