Under the State Council Funding Program, $15,000 will be offered to each state council every year for three years, with a total of $1.58m (£1.12m/€1.39m) to be offered over the course of the initiative.
Funding may be used to strengthen services and programs for individuals and families, as well as for council staff, with the funds available to use for training, conferences, helplines and general capacity building.
Councils may also use funds to explore the potential for capacity building in neighboring states without a council presence.
The program will launch with an initial three-year trial this month.
