Further CCFK Grant Impact in 2025

Diaper Allowance

Any child that is under the care and custody of DCS and is wearing diapers or pull-ups, will be provided a gift card in the amount of $75/month. A grant request can be submitted for a one month, two month, or three month allowance.

In 2025, CCFK provided 326 months of diapers for a total of $24,456.

Summer Camp Funding

With a grant request, CCFK will fund the full amount of a summer camp for any youth that is under the care and custody of DCS with an active case.

In 2025 CCFK funded 20 requests for various summer camps for a total of $11,810.

Blavin-Bettin Scholars Program

The Blavin-Bettin Scholars Program at NAU supports youth out of foster care in their dreams to achieve a post-secondary education. The program helps students navigate and maximize their college experience as they pursue a Bachelor’s degree at Northern Arizona University. CCFK began financial support in the 2024-25 academic year to assist students with housing, basic needs, and funding for emergencies.

Currently 37 students are enrolled in the program. These students can submit grant requests as needed; CCFK has provided $2,650 to date. In December, each student received a $150 holiday gift card. CCFK will continue this assistance for the 2025-26 school year.

Gila County Support

CCFK has opened the grant process to dependent children from Gila County for two years. Gila County does not have a support council and has approximately 100 children with a dependency. 

Grant requests can be submitted through the CCFK website.

Blavin-Bettin Scholars Grant Request
Coconino County Grant Request

Coconino County will help the following with basic needs and wants, including orthodontics:

1. A child aged 0-21 with a dependency originating within Coconino County, regardless of where the child is placed.

2. A child aged 0-21 placed in Coconino County but with a dependency in an Arizona county other than Coconino County.

3. A child aged 0-21 that DCS has identified as at risk and needing support to prevent a dependency; and,

4. A young adult who aged out of the DCS system but is continuing to receive support from DCS.

5. CCFK will also help families living in Coconino County with the safety equipment needed to become a licensed foster care home.

Gila County Grant Request

Coconino CASA for Kids is here to help the children and youth of Gila County with basic needs and wants. The child’s dependency must originate in Gila County but the child can be placed anywhere, including group homes and treatment facilities. Some examples of basic needs and wants are: clothing, food, school supplies, gas, baby supplies, sports fees and equipment, musical instrument rentals, outings for siblings, summer camp, and furniture. $75 per child per month can be requested for diapers and is automatically approved. DCS caseworkers and CASAs can submit a request. Most requests will be reviewed by a committee and a decision will be communicated within 48 hours. Requests will be filled on Mondays and Thursdays. Most requests are filled with a physical or electronic gift card, not with the actual item.
