National Fatherhood Initiative

Many organizations recognize the important role fathers play in child well-being and family stability—but securing funding for father-inclusive work can be a challenge.

That's why National Fatherhood Initiative® created the free guide, Funding a Father-Inclusive Effort for NGOs. This resource helps organizations identify public and private funding opportunities, uncover overlooked funding sources, and explore practical strategies for sustaining father-focused programs and services.

When fathers are engaged, children, families, and communities benefit. Ensuring organizations have the resources to support fathers is a critical step toward creating lasting impact.

💸 One of the biggest barriers to serving fathers isn't a lack of commitment—it's often a lack of funding.

✅ Our free guide, Funding a Father-Inclusive Effort for NGOs, helps organizations identify public and private funding opportunities that can support father-inclusive programs and services. It reveals funding sources that are often "hidden in plain sight" and provides practical ideas for building sustainable support for your work with fathers and families.

At National Fatherhood Initiative®, we believe every organization should have the resources needed to engage fathers, strengthen families, and improve child well-being. This guide is one more way we're helping organizations turn that vision into reality.

Poverty affects millions of children, but research shows that involved fathers can make a meaningful difference.

Children with actively involved fathers are less likely to experience economic hardship, including food insecurity and other challenges associated with growing up in poverty. Even when fathers live apart from their children, consistent engagement and financial support can help improve long-term outcomes.
