Children’s Funding Project, in collaboration with Grantmakers for Education and our team at the Afterschool Alliance released an important new tool for the field, “Funding Out-Of-School Time Programs – Now and in the Future.”
Recognizing that COVID-19 education and child care relief funds soon expire, the tool outlines opportunities for generating new federal, state, and local funding sources that may help advocacy groups, intermediaries, programs, families, and other stakeholders keep quality programs operational and meeting needs of youth in their communities. The tool is aligned with the efforts of the U.S. Department Education’s Engage Every Student initiative, which seeks to ensure all students have access to quality afterschool and summer learning opportunities.
