The Ohio Commission on Fatherhood received several applications in response to our recent RFGAs and the following fatherhood programs were selected for funding at $100,000 per year for two years:
 

1.  Action for Children 

2.  Forever Dads

3.  Lima Allen Council on Community Affairs

4.  Passages for Fathers and Sons

5.  Urban Light Ministries

6.  WSOS

Two programs were selected for funding at $40,000 per year for two years.  They are smaller, newer fatherhood programs and will also receive ongoing technical assistance from OCF:

1.  CAC Erie 

2.  Center for Families and Children

In a recent post on the National Fatherhood Initiative (NFI) blog, NFI highlighted the "the exciting, state-wide work being done by the Ohio Commission on Fatherhood."  The blog included links to our video about the Ohio County Fatherhood Initiative.  To learn more and to participate in a future training, click here.
