Community-based organizations (CBOs) providing violence prevention services face challenges with state grants. Streamlining grant processes and improving funder communication can enhance program delivery and support.
Area of Science:
- Public Health
- Community Health
- Social Work
Background:
- Community-based organizations (CBOs) are vital for violence prevention.
- Many CBOs struggle with evidence-based practice implementation and grant administration.
- State funding is crucial but often presents administrative hurdles.
Purpose of the Study:
- To explore facilitators and barriers for CBOs receiving state funding for violence prevention.
- To identify ways to improve the grant process for CBOs.
Main Methods:
- 29 leaders from CBOs receiving state violence prevention grants participated.
- Online focus groups were conducted.
- Reflexive thematic analysis was used to analyze data.
Main Results:
- Grants serve as a financial lifeline, expanding CBO capacity.
- Clear communication from funders facilitates positive grantee experiences.
- Barriers include rigid requirements, reimbursement delays, and under-resourced agencies.
- Collaboration among CBOs is highly recommended.
Conclusions:
- Funders must review grant procedures for equity in application and implementation.
- Recommendations include streamlining budgets, offering technical assistance, and fostering collaboration.
