FAN Grants

We are committed to making FAN trainings accessible to prenatal-five workers in Washington State—especially those from BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, People of Color), immigrant, and rural communities. One way we do this is by offering no-cost trainings through our Grant Program, where you can attend Practitioner FAN and Supervisor FAN in English.

Do you want to help bring FAN to more home-based programs in WA?
If so, you may be interested in joining our FAN Grant Committee.

About the Committee:

The committee oversees the mission of the FAN grant program, spreads the word to recruit applicants, and reviews applications. The committee is currently made up of members of the FAN team and one community provider. We wish to add new committee members who are working in the community to strengthen the representation and voice of the communities we support in the FAN grant program:

• Are in/have been through a FAN training

• Are connected to or part of BIPOC, immigrant, or rural serving communities

• Have time to be part of a team that meets via Zoom every 4th Thursday from 8–9am PT

• Are ready to use your networks to promote the grant to home-based and early intervention programs in WA

Community members are provided a stipend of $150/month to honor their time and talent.
