Grant Reviewers Needed
The Strengthening Families Washington (SFWA) team at the Department of Children, Youth, and Families (DCYF) is actively recruiting reviewers for our upcoming grant opportunities!
Economic security and community resources are powerful factors in preventing child abuse and neglect. This spring, we are excited to share a few funding opportunities to support organizations that serve/would like to serve families across Washington state!
- Community Based Child Abuse Prevention (CBCAP) Evaluation and Program Capacity Building
- CBCAP Perinatal Mental Health (PNMH) Program Capacity Building
In order to ensure that we select organizations to receive funds that will be the best suited to serve families, we need parents*, community members*, and organizational representatives to participate in the review process.
*Please note: for parents and community members with lived experience, we can provide stipends and reimburse expenses for your time.
Reviewer responsibilities include:
- CBCAP Evaluation and Program Capacity Building
- Review and score 6-8 applications between May 3 and May 13.

When we have a diverse range of reviewers, the experiences and knowledge brought forward as a collective, results in recommendations for organizations that are best aligned to serve families.
To avoid any real or potential conflict of interest, please do not volunteer to review applications if you are an applicant for an opportunity.
