Special Projects

Special Projects are among the Commission's more flexible funding streams. These one-time demonstration projects, which are capped at a maximum of $33,000, can relate to any priority area outlined in the Commission's Strategic Plan. Projects must address health and social services, family support/child abuse prevention, school readiness, community building or other topics related to improving the health and well-being of children ages 0-5 and their families.

Community members interested in applying for Special Projects funding for their agency must work with the Commissioner representing their district to bring a proposal forward. The agency must have an identified partnering agency with which they will work to leverage funds for a more comprehensive project. If agreeable, the Commissioner will forward the proposal to staff for review/evaluation by the Special Projects proposal review panel.
