The Kids Trust Fund: FY2027 Child Abuse Support Grants
The Foundation for Enhancing Communities (TFEC) lists The Kids Trust Fund in its current Grant Cycle 1, with applications available November 1, 2026 and due February 1, 2027. The official program guidelines identify individual grants up to $10,000; a minimum award is not published. The fund provides financial assistance for qualifying nonprofit programs serving children experiencing abuse or neglect and their families.
Eligible applicants and geography: Established 501(c)(3) nonprofits operating qualified child- and family-focused services within Cumberland, Dauphin, Franklin, Lebanon, Perry, York, Lancaster, Juniata or Mifflin counties in Pennsylvania. Programs must serve children ages 0–18 and/or their families. The fund supports expanded or enhanced existing services; applicants proposing a new program must demonstrate how it will be sustained.
Funding priorities: Therapeutic recreation for children affected by abuse, early intervention, support groups, and mental, emotional or behavioral health services. Proposals should present measurable outcomes, collaboration, sustainability and a defined budget.
Restrictions: The guidelines exclude advertising, capital campaigns, direct lobbying, grants to individuals, religious doctrine propagation and retroactive projects; new staff positions require a substantive sustainability plan. The guidelines encourage diversified support rather than reliance on the grant alone. A fixed matching percentage and payment/reimbursement terms are not published in the accessible public guidelines.
How to apply: Review The Kids Trust Fund official guidelines and the current TFEC FY2027 Cycle 1 dates. Submit the online application through the funder’s GrantInterface/Foundant portal by February 1, 2027 (the official public pages do not state an exact hour or time zone). The fund-specific page retains an older 2025–2026 timeline in one section, while TFEC’s current master listing shows the 2026–2027 opening. Applicants should confirm the current-cycle project dates and private portal attachment checklist before submission.
