Tennessee Department of Human Services is opening applications for its highly-anticipated Fatherhood Grant Program.

The grant program is intended to fund on-the-ground service delivery providers with a mission of impacting fathers or providing fatherhood related programming to communities across Tennessee.

Through this new initiative, the department will invest approximately $10 million dollars to support public, private, and non-profit organizations directly serving fathers. The application deadline is June 30th at 5pm.

The Tennessee Department of Human Services seeks to collaborate with public, private, and non-profit organizations to promote fatherhood and provide the necessary support to empower fathers. The grant program will specifically provide funding support to organizations or institutions that have a targeted focus of delivering fatherhood-related programs including mentorship, educational and co-parenting support, skill-building workshops, employment services, and financial literacy. Specific eligibility criteria will apply to the Fatherhood Grants.
