Grants for Relatives Caring for Kids

The Non-Parent Caregiver Grant, also called the Child-Only Grant, offers financial assistance to grandparents and other nonparent relative caregivers raising children.

The grant pays an overage of $400 per month to those caring for one child, $525 for two children and $650 for three children.  Only the child’s income is considered in determining eligibility (the caregivers’ income is not included in the application).  Legal custody or guardianship is not required, and caregivers must be caring for the child full time.

Information on this program is provided by the New York State Kinship Navigator (a program of Catholic Family Center’s Aging & Adult Services).  Here’s a HINT:  If you don’t live in New York, it doesn’t matter.  Do an internet search for “Non Parent Care Giver Grant” with the name of your state.  This program is available nationwide.
