About Partnership for Strong Families
Partnership for Strong Families Inc backs child welfare services through a network built around foster care, adoption, kinship care, and community resource centers. The largest recent grant in the record went to Camelot Community Care Inc for dependency case management, a good example of how the foundation uses large operating awards to support system-level services for children and families. Another major recipient, Lutheran Services Inc, received substantial funding for case management, showing that direct service support sits near the center of its grantmaking. The foundation also funds out-of-home care providers and independent living services for young people moving through child welfare systems. Recent grants include support for Twin Oaks Juvenile Development Inc, Haven's Open Arms, One More Child Inc, and Cds Family & Behavioral Health Services Inc. Across the record, the foundation appears to prioritize programs that stabilize placements, strengthen family supports, and help children and youth move through care with continuity.
What Partnership for Strong Families Funds
In dependency case management, the foundation awarded $6,159,012 to Camelot Community Care Inc for dependency case management and $3,393,823 to Lutheran Services Inc for case management. Those awards show a strong emphasis on front-line child welfare administration and supervision. For out-of-home care, it supported Twin Oaks Juvenile Development Inc with $584,862 for out of home care and Haven's Open Arms with $551,739 for the same area, alongside awards to Florida United Methodist Church and One More Child Inc. It also funded youth transition work: Cds Family & Behavioral Health Services Inc received $327,738 for independent living in 2024. The record includes prevention as well, with $70,407 to Brehon Institute for Family Services Inc.
How Partnership for Strong Families Gives
Grant sizes are front-loaded: the 25th percentile is $107,600, the median is $361,658, and the 75th percentile is $832,132. The awards shown are concentrated in a small set of large operating grants, with multiple recipients appearing in both 2023 and 2024, including Camelot Community Care Inc, Lutheran Services Inc, Cds Family & Behavioral Health Services Inc, Twin Oaks Juvenile Development Inc, Haven's Open Arms, and Florida United Methodist Church. That repeated presence suggests ongoing relationships rather than isolated one-time awards. The foundation is structured as an operating grantmaker with program-related investments noted, and the active Children's Bureau Grant (Evaluation & Expansion) is tied to the Resource Center Network. Unsolicited applications are not part of that active program.
