Why It Matters
These small, focused grants help CACs upgrade technology, pilot innovations, or expand training without heavy lift. SungateKids should apply annually to keep infrastructure current.
Application Tips
- Monitor NCA announcements for category themes (e.g., forensic recording, telehealth, mobile advocacy).
- Keep project scopes tight with 12-month deliverables and measurable outputs.
- Leverage existing data and needs assessments to justify requests (e.g., upgrading interview equipment, developing online caregiver modules).
- Coordinate with Colorado Children’s Alliance to avoid overlap and share best practices.
Potential Project Ideas
- Replace aging forensic interview recording systems with trauma-informed, secure technology.
- Launch tele-advocacy kits for families in rural Elbert and Lincoln counties.
- Develop a bilingual caregiver education portal to reinforce coping skills post-interview.
- Fund specialized training for multidisciplinary team members (digital evidence, child trafficking response).
