The Minnesota Chapter of the Association for the Treatment and Prevention of Sexual Abuse (MnATSA) is offering a unique opportunity to advance initiatives in preventing sexual abuse.

MnATSA is the state chapter of the Association for the Treatment and Prevention of Sexual Abuse (ATSA). Our mission is to prevent sexual abuse through education, research, and professional intervention. We are pleased to announce a grant opportunity to advance the mission of MnATSA. The maximum grant amount is $1,500. State agencies are not eligible for grant funds.

The grant money is available for:

• A specific event/project/task sponsored by an organization with a complementary

  education, research, and professional intervention.

Grant funds cannot be used for:

Grant recipients will be responsible for providing brief, written quarterly updates to the MnATSA board summarizing how grant funds were administered. All submissions will be reviewed and considered.
