State child abuse prevention programs received an influx of cash from new grants.
Nearly $600,000 is now available in Arizona to give to nonprofit groups that offer child abuse prevention programs.
The money, from the Governor's Office of Youth, Faith and Family comes from payments by drivers for special Child Abuse Prevention license plates and matching contributions.
Several charitable groups match the funds each year.
Last year, more than $454,000 was awarded to 19 groups for their prevention programs.
