The TMCSCC iDAD Fatherhood Program and collaboration with OT  is supported through Florida's Responsible Fatherhood Initiative, a major investment by the Florida Department of Children & Families. This initiative—launched by HB 7065 in 2022—allocates over $68.9 million statewide, with at least $21.2 million specifically funding "Comprehensive Needs of Fathers" services like iDAD.  These grants help programs offer employment support, parenting skills, mental‑health screening, and more. Under the Father First campaign, iDAD joins a network of 30+ community groups working to strengthen father‑child relationships across Florida.
