Abuse & Neglect
Recognizing the need for increased coordination among agencies and/or additional services to address abuse and neglect in Kosciusko County, the Kosciusko County Community Foundation and K21 Health Foundation have established a special grant initiative to seek out proposals from local service providers. This initiative aims to establish new or support currently existing services, programs, or projects that meet the needs of Kosciusko County individuals, children, or families who have already experienced or are at risk of experiencing abuse and neglect. Any proposal submitted must describe how it serves this specific population.
Applications will be accepted until March 1, 2025, with awards being announced in mid-May. Please review the Request for Proposals document below for the full guidelines.
