Grant Development

Mending Our Mistakes believes that lasting solutions require collaboration.

The challenges facing families involved in custody disputes, child support enforcement, supervised visitation, reentry, housing instability, workforce barriers, and behavioral health concerns are too complex for any single organization to solve alone. Meaningful change requires partnerships that bring together expertise, resources, lived experience, and a shared commitment to improving outcomes for children and families.

Our organization actively pursues public and private funding opportunities that support innovative approaches to family stabilization, parental restoration, economic mobility, community reintegration, and family connection.

We welcome opportunities to collaborate with foundations, corporations, government agencies, educational institutions, faith-based organizations, nonprofit partners, and community stakeholders that share our commitment to strengthening families and removing barriers to success.

Areas of Focus

Current funding priorities include:

• Family stabilization and preservation

• Supervised visitation and safe exchange services

• Court navigation and lived-experience support programs

• Workforce development and economic mobility

• Transportation access solutions

• Housing stabilization and transitional housing

• Behavioral health and recovery support

• Digital inclusion and technology access

• Reentry and family reunification initiatives

• Research, policy development, and systems improvement

Collaborative Grant Applications

Mending Our Mistakes actively participates in collaborative funding efforts with partner organizations whose services complement our mission.

We believe effective solutions are built through coordinated systems rather than isolated programs. For this reason, we frequently explore opportunities to participate in consortium applications, regional partnerships, demonstration projects, pilot programs, and cross-sector initiatives that expand access to services while reducing duplication of effort.

Organizations interested in exploring collaborative funding opportunities are encouraged to contact us to discuss potential alignment.

Why Partner With Us

Our work is informed by both professional knowledge and lived experience.

We understand the practical barriers that families face because many of those barriers have been experienced firsthand by the people helping to design our programs. This perspective allows us to identify service gaps that are often overlooked and develop solutions that address challenges at their source rather than simply responding to the symptoms.

Our approach focuses on building stability as the foundation for accountability, family connection, and long-term success.

Current Development Priorities

As a growing organization, Mending Our Mistakes continues to seek strategic funding and partnership opportunities that support:

• Program development and expansion

• Capacity building

• Technology infrastructure

• Facility development

• Transportation initiatives

• Workforce training programs

• Family connection services

• Research and evaluation efforts

• Community outreach and education
