In collaboration with our Partners, to prevent the abuse and neglect of Kentucky’s children through advocacy, awareness, education, and training.
Kentucky Council on Child Abuse D/b/a Prevent Child Abuse Kentucky centers its grantmaking on parent education and support groups, with repeated awards to community organizations across Kentucky that work with parents, primary caregivers, and families with young children. The largest recent grants in the record went to the Center for Women Children and Families in Lexington, including $51,800 in 2025 and $51,000 in 2024, both for parent education and support groups. Similar multi-year support appears for Family Nurturing Center of Kentucky in Florence, which received $47,700 in 2025, $47,000 in 2024, and $46,800 in 2023 for the same purpose. That pattern shows a funder that often renews support for the same local partners rather than making isolated one-off awards. The foundation’s stated work is to prevent abuse and neglect of Kentucky’s children through advocacy, awareness, education, and training. Its recent grants also reach organizations serving child and family support functions in Lexington, Louisville, Bowling Green, Corbin, Hazard, Harlan, Ashland, Frankfort, and Prestonsburg. In addition to parent-focused services, the organization’s active mini-grant programs include fatherhood engagement and child sexual abuse prevention work in Kentucky.
Parent education is the clearest throughline in the recent grants. The foundation awarded $45,000 in 2025 to Family Enrichment Center in Bowling Green for parent education and support groups, and $39,668 in 2024 to Kentucky Safety and Prevention Alignment Network in Lexington for the same purpose. Its child safety work includes mini-grants for child sexual abuse prevention. One active program with Berea College Appalachian Fund provides prevention materials and training for organizations in Kentucky’s Appalachian region, and another 2022 community mini-grant set supplied packages of tip sheets, posters, brochures, postcards, and healthy child development cards. Family strengthening also appears in the grant program design. The Cralle Foundation partnership supports building positive fatherhood engagement through community support, with small grants aimed at local nonprofit or community-based activities. The beneficiary types tied to the foundation’s stated work include parents, primary caregivers, and families with young children.
