Sexual Risk Avoidance Education Program – General Departmental Program
2018-2021 (3 years @ $422,521 annually)
The purpose of the general departmental funded Sexual Risk Avoidance Education (SRAE) Program (GD-SRAE) is to fund projects that exclusively implement sexual risk avoidance education that teaches youth how to voluntarily refrain from non-marital sexual activity. GD-SRAE programs also teach the benefits associated with self-regulation, success sequencing for poverty prevention, healthy relationships, goal setting, and resisting sexual coercion, dating violence, and other youth risk behaviors such as underage drinking or illicit drug use without normalizing teen sexual activity.
Grantees use an evidence-based approach and/or effective strategies to educate youth on the optimal health behavior of avoiding non-marital sexual activity and other risky behaviors. GD-SRAE projects provide services to youth populations, age 10-19, using a Positive Youth Development (PYD) framework as part of risk avoidance strategies. The goal of the GD-SRAE program is to educate youth on how to voluntarily refrain from non-marital sexual activity and avoid related risky behaviors.
Programs may select a curriculum that fits the needs of the youth served, provided it adheres to these [and other] requirements:
- Curricula, interventions, and activities that exclusively implement education in sexual risk avoidance (defined as voluntarily refraining from non-marital sexual activity) and address the trauma needs of vulnerable youth.
- Curriculum is medically accurate, age-appropriate with regard to the developmental stage of the intended audience, culturally appropriate, and linguistically appropriate.

Competitive Abstinence Education Grant Program (CAE)
2015 – 2017 ($417,225 over 24 months (2 years)) and 2012 – 2014 ($649,342 over 24 months (2 years))
Grantees under this program will be expected to develop a targeted and medically accurate approach to reducing teen pregnancies through abstinence education. The purpose of the CAE Program is to provide funding for additional tools to address the rates of teen pregnancy among adolescent youth who are at greatest risk of STDs/STIs and most likely to bear children out of wedlock. Program plans will focus on the social, psychological, and health gains to be realized by delaying initiation of sexual activity and engaging in healthy relationships.

Healthy Marriage and Relationship Education (for youth)
2006 – 2011 (5 years x $550,000 annually)
The majority of first romantic relationships occur during adolescence, and the experiences of these early dating relationships can both positively and negatively influence professional, peer, and romantic relationships later in life (Carver et al., 2003; Simpson et al., 2017; Collins et al., 2009). Research indicates that adolescents often do not have the necessary knowledge and skills to recognize and develop healthy relationships and avoid unhealthy relationships (Gardener & Steinberg, 2005; Giordano, et al., 2019; Guzman et al., 2009).
OFA funds organizations across the country to provide a broad array of healthy marriage promotion services designed to support healthy relationships and marriage, including the value of marriage in future family formation and skills-based healthy relationship and marriage education to youth in high school (grades 9-12), high-school-aged youth (ages 14-17), and/or youth in late adolescence to early adulthood (ages 18-24). Grantees support a range of activities including:
- Education in High Schools– Education in high schools on the value of marriage, relationship skills, and budgeting.
- Public Advertising Campaigns– Public advertising campaigns on the value of marriage and the skills needed to increase marital stability and health.

Compassion Capital Fund Demonstration Grant
(3 years @ $1.1 million annually)
The Compassion Capital Fund (CCF) is the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) recognition that faith-based and community organizations are uniquely situated to partner with the government in serving poor and low-income individuals and families, particularly those with the greatest needs such as families in poverty, prisoners reentering the community, homeless families, and at-risk youth.
The primary purpose of the CCF is to help faith-based and community organizations increase their effectiveness, enhance their ability to provide social services to serve those most in need, expand their organizations, diversify their funding sources, and create collaborations to better serve those in need.
https://definitions.uslegal.com/c/compassion-capital-fund-ccf/
CCF had the goal of assisting faith-based and community organizations to increase their effectiveness, enhance their ability to provide social services, expand their organizations, diversify their funding sources, and create collaborations to better serve those most in need. This is accomplished by funding experienced intermediary organizations in well-defined geographic locations with a proven track record of providing technical assistance to smaller faith-based and community organizations in their communities, providing one-time [subgrants] to smaller faith-based and community organizations to build their capacity, and providing grants to strengthen broad-based collaborative community…
Intermediary organizations use the CCF funds to provide two services within their communities: 1) Training assistance to faith-based and community organizations; and 2) Financial support through sub-awards to some subset of the faith-based and community organizations in their communities. Technical assistance activities are to be conducted at no cost to interested faith-based and community organizations. [Intermediaries] must have demonstrated experience in the delivery of capacity-building assistance to smaller organizations in several of the following areas: strategic planning, financial management, board development, fund development, and outcome measurement.
The program goals are further accomplished through the issuance of sub-awards by the funded intermediary organizations to a diverse set of small faith-based and community organizations that seek to increase program and organizational effectiveness for a 12-month period. The criteria for [sub-awardee] selection must not include consideration of the religious nature of the program it offers. Priority for sub-awards is given to organizations that historically have not received grants from the Federal government. Intermediaries must not require sub-award applicants to have 501 (c) (3) status or to identify a sponsoring organization with 501 (c) (3) status. Sub-awards must not be used to provide direct services, but rather improve the sub-awardee’s efficiency and capacity.
