Are you looking for information on how to get assistance for yourself, your family, or a friend? If so, you will probably find our Contacts page helpful in finding assistance near you.

Do you want to apply for Federal grant money to run your own program? Or are you interested in opportunities for doing business with the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) through a contract? ACF does not provide services directly. State, county, city, and tribal governments, and public and private local agencies provide services with Federal money granted by ACF.

On this page, you will find links to funding opportunities including grants, contracts, and other assistance available to eligible organizations and individuals, as well as grant-related forms and documents. We are working to provide you with more and better opportunities to apply for ACF funds over the Internet. News about our links to these opportunities will appear on this page in the future. You will also find links to ACF financial data, reports, ACF audited financial statements, and grantee audit information.
