A grant from Pennsylvania Commission on Crime and Delinquency

2027 Child Advocacy Center Development Grant

This opportunity is narrowly focused on expanding National Children’s Alliance Children’s Advocacy Centers into Pennsylvania counties that currently lack a CAC. The announcement is specifically for Category 2 Multidisciplinary Investigative Teams. Strong fit therefore depends on confirmed Category 2 MDIT eligibility, a target county without a CAC, and a proposal centered on CAC development. The listed award ceiling is $300,000 and the deadline is May 31, 2027; applicants should confirm the applicable timezone and submission instructions with the state funder.
